Launch takes place in the Tees Valley principally in Eaglescliffe, Long Newton and Stockton. The ministries of Launch happen across this area in various churches and schools. All Saints’ Preston-on-Tees, is the nexus church where the staff team is based and in which Launch team members function as Gap Year ‘interns’.
All Saints is an evangelical, charismatic local church. It is a church that has been growing and developing for a number of years and it is a part of the New Wine Network.
The Vision: Building God’s people
Launch aims to equip young adults aged 18 and over for the rest of their life through a year of Bible teaching, ministry training, personal mentoring, and relevant ministry experience. Taking a year out is such a great thing to do and the potential for people to be changed and draw closer to God is an opportunity not to be missed.
We provide an exciting, flexible programme that will challenge and stretch you in your faith. We discuss with you personally what it is you want from your year out, and also what you would like to bring and how you would want to serve.
The Vision: Building God’s Church
Launch believes strongly in the ministry of the Church to build God’s Kingdom, and aims to support the ministry and also extend the vision of God’s church in the Stockton area. The ministry that Launch is involved in varies from supporting established projects and also being envisioned for pioneering new work. So come with your vision and fresh ideas!
Whatever your experience or hopes for in ministry there will be much to get involved in…whether its diving into something that you have never done, or bringing your skills and fresh input to a work you are passionate about and have been involved with before.
