WHAT IS THE SOUTH EAST GOSPEL PARTNERSHIP? The South East Gospel Partnership is an interdenominational group of church leaders from across the South East of England that has been meeting to consider how we can advance the gospel of Jesus Christ in our region. We aim to work together to encourage local churches in proclaiming the gospel to those who currently do not know Jesus, in the training of a new generation of Christian leaders and in the multiplying of new
congregations and fellowships. We work in co-operation as a group of churches and church leaders, not as an executive, and our aims are practical, not political.
Organising Committee: Iain Broomfield, Richard Coekin, Charles Dobbie, Nick McQuaker, Brian O’Donoghue, John Ross, Simon Smallwood and William Taylor.
