Special Announcement
We are excited to announce that Hope City Church has joined Anglican Mission in England (AMiE). Joining a church network is something that we’ve been seeking God’s guidance on for a long time. As a leadership we wanted to take as much time in prayer and consultation as possible to find the right fit for HCC. After a season of discernment and exploration, the leadership team and the board of trustees felt confident that AMiE was the right choice for the church both theologically and practically, and would provide excellent strength and support to us as we pursue the mission that God has given to us.
AMiE is an evangelical Anglican diocese commissioned by GAFCON. It sits within the Anglican Network in Europe and has three Bishops who oversee the churches; Andy Lines, Tim Davies and Lee McMunn. It is not under the oversight of the Church of England. AMiE has a strong focus on church planting, their 10:20 vision is to see 10 new churches planted by the end of 2025 and a further 20 planted by 2030. As church planters this is something that is close to our hearts, and something we feel is also part of God’s call on HCC.
Graham was interviewed by a delegation from AMiE in November 2023 and subsequently HCC’s application to join AMiE was accepted. On Thursday 25th January Graham was licensed and ordained as deacon in the Global Anglican Church by Bishop Andy Lines.
Through our connection with AMiE, HCC is now connected with over 90 million Bible believing Christians all across the world. We believe that God will use this new connection to help us increase that number by reaching more people in our city with the gospel of salvation!
Please continue to pray for the Lord’s blessing on our work as we seek to bring glory to His name in Wolverhampton.
Yours in Christ,
The Leadership Team
