our vision
firm foundations
We invite you to
share our vision. Kensington Temple subscribes to the Foundation Truths of the
Elim Pentecostal Churches UK, these can be found in full on our
website. Go to kt.org and click the link “What we believe”.
Kensington Temple is part
of the Elim Pentecostal
movement which was
founded by George Jeffreys
100 years ago in 1915.
We are an international
church welcoming people
of all races and nations. We believe that God has a plan and
purpose for every member of his body, the
Church. In January 2017 Senior Minister
Colin Dye laid out the vision that we have
for Kensington Temple London City Church
for the next four years. This 20:20 Vision
is made up of three strategic elements:
We are growing a
network of churches, cell
groups, fellowships and
ministries serving Jesus
across Greater London
and reaching out to the
nations of the world.
We are confident that
the gospel of Christ is
the only hope for a world
suffering without Christ.
We are followers of
Christ who want to
grow as individuals
and in community to
become like him.
We raise disciples of Christ
who demonstrate his love
in their home, community,
workplace or place of study.
We are a cell-based church
which prepares you for
ministry in the market place.
We see every Christian
as a servant of God and
minister of Jesus Christ.
We understand that
believing and belonging go
hand in hand – we believe
in order to belong and we
belong in order to believe.
LONDON AND THE
WORLD FOR CHRIST
36 Revival Times June 2017
• Spiritual maturity (‘Mature’)
• Church growth (‘Multiply’)
• Influence in the world (‘Mobilise’)
Key to fulfilling the 20:20 Vision are the
aspirations that we have for every KTLCC
member, these are expressed as a series
of gaols, each beginning ‘We see you…’
MATURE
Whether a new believer or a seasoned
Christian leader, maturing in the Kingdom
of God is the highest concern of the hour.
In our 20:20 Vision, we see you:
• Developing the incredible potential
that God has placed inside you and
releasing it for the good of his Kingdom.
• Encouraged, taught and trained to become
an effective disciple of Christ in London.
• In a strong nurturing community with other
KTLCC people joining together to see
each other succeed and progress in life.
• Serving and helping others to
fulfil their God potential too!
MULTIPLY
Jesus died for all the people in London
whatever their race, religion or background.
Winning new souls and helping them find
their new special place in our congregations
and cell groups is of eternal significance.
In our 20:20 Vision, we see you:
• Equipped and encouraged to
share your faith with others
• Able to give increasingly confident
answers to those who ask about the hope
you have in Jesus (1 Peter 3:15-16)
• Touching the lives of those around
you through powerful Christian love
• With a heart for the lost and a powerful
prayer life that will help shake the
foundations of our city for God!
MOBILISE
Jesus told his church to be salt and light
in the world. That is, to penetrate society
with the healthy influence of our salt-like
presence, and to illuminate society’s
thinking with the light of gospel values.
In our 20:20 vision we want to further equip,
mobilise and encourage you to ‘take the
giants’ for God. The giants of our society are
the great institutions and professions which
exercise the most influence over our lives.
In our 20:20 Vision, we see you:
• Increasingly equipped and successful
as a Christian in your chosen
career or place in wider society.
• Encouraged and in powerful partnership
with other Christians involved in
the same areas that you are.
• As ever more effective as a ‘salt-
and-light’ witness to Christ in
the wider ‘market place’.
• Transforming everything and
everyone around you.
