Citywide Partners
At Ebe Church we have 4 key values, one of those is…
Transform.
We partner with others. We actively engage with our communities, our city, and our world to show Jesus’ love, and tackle issues of injustice.
As a church we are privileged to be supporting a people who are a part of Ebe Church Family serving cross culturally – known as our Global Partners.
We also support a number of different Bristol based organisations who are doing amazing work in our city to serve and support those who are vulnerable, and fight for justice – known as our Citywide Partners.
There will often be crossover between our Global and Citywide Partners, and both will change depending on personal circumstances, and where we feel God is leading us as a church.
We love to support our Citywide Partners in a number of different ways, and we encourage individuals to get involved, as well as doing this together as a church family. The three main ways we support our local partners are through prayer, practical support/volunteering, and financially. We regularly share prayer updates, volunteering opportunities, and support our partners financially at specific times throughout the year.
