Who we are
We are a charismatic, evangelical church made up of people who are excited about what God has done in our lives. We believe that Jesus is calling His church to be a "kingdom of priests" (1 Peter 2 v 9) and that in order to fulfil that calling we have to become, first and foremost, ministers unto the Lord. As we encounter the presence of God we receive everything that is necessary to touch the people around us with His grace and love.
Kirkham Christian Fellowship began in May 2005 and was started by Bob & Julie Grimshaw and their family. Bob has a wonderful christian heritage, his father was a pastor as was one of his grandfathers, other members of his family are also involved in christian ministry.
The Grimshaws were living in Scotland when they first felt that God was calling them to come to Lancashire several years ago. They moved in early 2001 and right from the start felt that the Kirkham area was significant.
Initially they lived in other parts of the Fylde and were involved with Blackpool Christian Centre, but at the beginning of 2004 they were finally able to settle in the Kirkham area.
Over the next few months God started to direct them towards planting a new church. Alan & Beverly Drake, the leaders of New Waters Christian Fellowship gave practical help and encouragement, and it was during this period that they also first met Dennis Walker of Dunamis Apostolic Resource Center in Las Vegas, and his apostolic input was foundational.
Right from the start we have been blessed with a Holy Spirit presence in our meetings and also with a strong sense of unity and purpose among us. We believe that God wants to do something new and exciting and we want to be a part of it along with other christians in the town and surrounding areas. God has given gifts and abilities to all of us and we encourage everyone to make use of them both in the church and in everyday life.
Why not come along and find out about the difference that Jesus can make in your life and join us on an exciting journey of discovery in God!
