Our church in Thanet started in 2011 with about 12 of us in someone’s living room. By God’s grace, we have grown each year as people have been saved and added to the church.
From the very beginning, we felt called to be a simple, New Testament church, who enjoyed the gospel, loved one another and served the poor in both word and deed. To begin with, our life and mission was focused in the top-end of Ramsgate. For many years we gathered on Sundays as ‘Community Church Ramsgate’ (CCR) at Newington Community Primary School, before God miraculously blessed us with our own community building in 2017: The Corner. The Corner remains our ‘Home and Centre of Mission’ in Ramsgate.
Though we started with a focus in Ramsgate, our heart has always been for the whole area of Thanet. So, in 2019 we planted Community Church Margate (CCM). Rather than continuing to simply grow into one large church, we believe we have grace and vision to establish at least 3 smaller, authentic and healthy families of faith, who are each serving and loving their own area of Thanet.
Each of these smaller congregations remains meaningfully connected and inter-relates as part of ‘Thanet Community Churches’. We seek to join together and celebrate, with shared vision and leadership, to serve the whole of Thanet.
