Meetings are designed to help bring renewal to the existing Christian church. We believe that all can experience the powerful presence of God’s Holy Spirit in their lives and start to exercise the spiritual gifts as a result. We wish to work in unity with all local churches where Filling Station meetings occur. Filling Station meetings are places where people are taught to worship in Spirit and in truth (John 4:23), where a new community of friendships are established, where involvement is the norm and where God’s love, care and provision are declared and celebrated.
In terms of evangelism, meetings are designed to present the gospel in an attractive, genuine and powerful fashion to those who are currently outside the church. 1 Corinthians 14:24–25 is our guide to evangelism in the Filling Station; where Christians are overtly exercising their faith through prayer, worship and teaching, non-Christians in their midst become convinced of God’s reality. This has been our experience since the Filling Station began. Over 150 people have come to Christ in that time.
The Gift
The Gift is the Filling Station’s Christmas Campaign. Each local Filling Station puts on an in-person, invitational meeting across the UK with evangelistic speakers sharing the Good News of the Gospel. There is an opportunity for a response.
Some meetings opt for simple carols and mince pies, whilst others engage in street evangelism or show a Christmas film (perhaps the J. John film) to an expectant audience.
