The famous preacher Dr. Tony Campolo tells the story of a little preaching competition that he had with his pastor during services at the church where he attends. Dr. Campolo tells how he preached the perfect sermon, perfect in every way. He had taken the congregation to the heights of glory. And as he sat down beside his pastor, Dr. Campolo patted him on the knee and simply said, "Top that." The older black pastor looked at him and said, "Boy, watch the master."

In January 2000, leaders in Charlotte, North Carolina, invited their favorite son, Billy Graham, to a luncheon in his honour. Billy initially hesitated to accept the invitation because he struggles with Parkinson's disease. But the Charlotte leaders said, "We don't expect a major address. Just come and let us honour you." So he agreed.

After wonderful things were said about him, Dr. Graham stepped to the rostrum, looked at the crowd, and said, I'm reminded today of Albert Einstein, the great physicist who this month has been honoured by Time magazine as the Man of the Century.

Andy Pruett (a.k.a. American Andy) is a school teacher and in early 2007 settled into the family of Greenford Baptist Church. He stunned us all during a Sunday morning meeting by reciting this amazing poem about a Texas cowboy—from memory. Wow!

Our Lord Jesus taught his disciples this prayer. We sometimes use it ourselves it or we model our prayers on it. Hold your mouse pointer over each line to see a modern translation of it.

Fill me with brotherly love. Make me a generous provider of hospitality to strangers. Let angels find provision under my roof, even when I don't know who they really are.

God is called by different names in different languages. Here is a very large mural that our church family made - it hangs at the front of the worship area in the church building. Can you spot God's name in sign language?

Though God can't be described with just words, this is as close as you can get this side of Heaven. This is an amazing sermon piece, preached they way it should be.

Here is our two-page  Church Brochure which gives an overview of who we are and what we do. It is a double sided brochure in Acrobat .pdf format and you can print ot out and fold it in three.

1) Christ Is Someone To Know And Trust

Christ is more than a system, tradition, or belief. He is a Person who knows our needs, feels our pain, and sympathizes with our weakness.
