On February 1st 2010, I officially began as a church planter for the Evangelical Presbyterian Church of England and Wales (http://www.epcew.org.uk/). Durham Presbyterian Church have commissioned us to the work of church planting in Sheffield with the intention of establishing a long term work in the city. The aim and desire is to establish what we hope will become Sheffield Presbyterian Church. Please check out our website for more details:

We have begun a Westminster Bible study in our home for those interested in finding out more about the work. If you are interested then do please contact us.
The distinctive elements of this future church will be:
A Commitment to the Westminster Standards as our confession.
Public worship that seeks to be wholly committed to the expositional preaching of the Scripture.
Pure and simple worship that includes the singing of Psalms/hymns, prayer, preaching, and the sacraments of baptism and the Lord's Supper.
Hopefully the church will always be outward looking in a nation that is clearly a mission field.
Our desire is that the church will be filled with men, women and children who are serious minded about God and warm hearted at the same time.
Your prayer is valued.
Warmly,
Kevin Bidwell
Church Planter for the Evangelical Presbyterian Church of England and Wales
