Govan Church Plant
Planting a church in the working-class community of Govan.
Hope For Govan
The Lord has provided us with a great opportunity to work again with 20schemes to replant what was ‘Grace Govan’ into the heart of the Govan community, where there are only a few churches sharing the gospel to a large area and population.
Our most pressing need right now is for a church planter to lead this work. Harper Church will work with 20chemes to disciple a planter until the time comes for a team to move into a new premises in Govan.
Is God calling you to serve Him in this part of Scotland that desperately needs to hear the gospel again? Email pstewart@20schemes.com for more information.
About Govan
Govan is one of the most famous areas of Glasgow due to the influence of shipbuilding, football and culture. In recent years, as the shipbuilding industry has declined, Govan has been scoring high in the Scottish Government’s ‘index of multiple deprivation’ and they rank in the bottom 10% of communities in the country in terms of deprivation.
Yet Govan is still full of good people – 30,000 in the area as a whole – proud of their community and with a heart to see it continue to thrive. Sadly, there are only a few gospel-preaching churches for such a vast amount of people.
Current Prayer Needs:
- A church planter to be identified to embed in Harper Church and lead the new plant into Govan.
- People to join the team and give themselves to reach the many lost souls of Govan with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
- A building space in the heart of Govan to be identified where we can effectively minister from.
- Partner churches to come onboard and help pray for and financially support the new work.
