"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel
to every creature." Mark 16:15
Open Air Preaching
To reach out into the local community Pastor Mohon regularly engages in open area preaching with
pastors from evangelical churches in the area. These open airs are conducted in Stockton on
Tees town centre and the surrounding market towns, these include:
- Thornaby
- Yarm
- Ripon
- Bedale
In Yarm the open airs are held in the same location as John Wesley use to preach in the open air
in the seventeen hundreds.
Market Stall
Stockton on Tees has traditionally been a large market town, having until recently the longest
street market in Northern Europe. Church members are actively involved in running a Market Stall s
elling Christian literatures. This is used as an opportunity to meet people and engage them in
conversation and encourage them to take an read The Bible and other Christian literature. In December
and January a large number of Trinitarian Bible Society text calendars are freely given to passersby
so that the Truth of the Scriptures will be in as many local homes as possible.
The stall is stocked with a wide range of first and second hand evangelical literature. It is on the
market the first Saturday every month in the region of the town hall.
Personal Witness
Church members are encouraged to be proactively involved in sharing the Good News of the Gospel with
those in the locality.
