Hardwick Evangelical Church is in rural Cambridgeshire and has a congregation from the village and surrounding area. The church is an informal, relaxed church that focuses on its immediate area. As a church for the village, it attracts people from many different denominations. Although they have just 20 members, birthdays range from families with young children, to young people, to a recent 90th! The church itself is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.
The church is both inward and outward looking, caring for their congregation whilst getting involved in village life. They meet in the local school and rent a small, relaxed space that, as well as being an office, is also a community hub, Alpha location, hosts craft and other groups. Lots of the activities in the village are associated with the primary school, and the church joins and supports those events.
They are involved in the Community café, alongside the Anglican church and Community Association. They also partner with and support WCCYM (West Cambridge Youth Ministries) for youth work focused on the local secondary school, and churches.
Revd Kate has been in the village for 28 years. After their careers, both husband and wife took up leadership of the church, with Kate more recently being the sole minister. They are looking for someone to work in the church and are going through the process of identifying the role that would serve the church and village best. It will be outreach-focused, possibly with children’s or youth ministry. Throughout this process, the church unites in their desire to follow Christ with integrity.
Looking forward, they pray for those who attend their outreach events and look for the next steps towards Jesus.
