For the glory
of His name
Our motivation is, through careful consideration of the character of God and the truth of His word, to exalt and glorify God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
For the growth
of His kingdom
Our method is to deliver programmes and events in partnership with the local church to share the Good News with those who have not heard.
For the unity
of His church
Our aim is, through non-denominational praise and worship events, to enable believers to grow together in fellowship, deeper in Christ, and stand firm against evil.
Programmes

Event feedback
We're grateful to all for both positive feedback and suggestions for improvement! Here's a few comments that encouraged us a lot.
Alasdair
City Praise
She thoroughly enjoyed the event, and it has stirred an authentic desire to know more. As a result of going she is considering joining a Christianity Explored course in the local area, and there have been some really good conversations resulting.
Jane
Resurrection
Took a new Christian with us who had been baptised that morning. Was wonderful to witness his joy at being at his first event like this.
Stephen
Resurrection
What we both commented on and particularly liked was that way the Glory was given to God and that it was noticeable to us that there were no big introductions for those leading worship or speaking.
John
Resurrection
I felt I had arrived in the heavenly scenes of Revelation - all these people before the risen Lord, singing and worshiping with all our hearts and voices. It was a foretaste of heaven - glory!
Dave
Student Church Guide
Thank you so much for this ministry you do, through it we had three years ago two students come to us the first week of term, who are now going into fourth year. One of them is now one of our youth leaders and a real blessing.
Rachel
Light of the World
Just a quick email to tell you the great news. My boyfriend came to the Origin event on Sunday and was really inspired and challenged by what he heard. He asked Jesus into his life last night.
Donald
At last something of excellence to which we can proudly invite friends and colleagues knowing everything, from PA to musicianship will be of a professional standard.

Symphonic Praise
Absolutely wonderful; choir and orchestra were excellent, reader and readings were excellent ... beautiful choice of songs and hymns; beautiful orchestral arrangements.

Resurrection
I was at RESURRECTION with a group of 11 international students. One that I'm close to was there with his girlfriend. They both made commitments to follow Jesus that night... Some of the other students have become very interested in chatting about faith. He is at work for sure!
