Hailsham Gospel Mission

HGM's Five Pillars:


Introduction to the Five Pillars and Leadership for Hailsham Gospel Mission (HGM).

 At HGM we are in many senses both an old and a new Congregation.  Currently we are in a stage of transition of seeking to find and grow into what God is calling us to be and do.  We feel we are called to be:

        A Community of worship,

                 A House of Prayer,

                         A people of Hope and compassion.

We seek to be:

                                  Attractive, Accessible and Active.

The HGM five Pillars (below) are to help us navigate the changes and processes needed to grow and develop into our calling.

At present the Leadership of Hailsham Gospel Mission (HGM), is shared between Dave & Phyl Sweetman, and Martin & Gudrun Brown. 

While getting to know each other and build up our confidence as a church, we are aware of our limited capacity and capability.  So, seek to trust God and look to him and not ourselves.

We are in the process of getting some key renovations done both in the building and our infrastructures.  These will be done slowly and be built up.  We are starting with small projects and try to grow in these.  Remembering it is an “Evolution and NOT a Revolution”.  For this it is important that we go forward together to support the work and service of Gods work and Kingdom.
