When Jesus sent a bunch of mostly uneducated disciples out into their communities with little training or experience, the gospel somehow spread rapidly. Jesus simply said “Go, explain the kingdom, pray for people and trust I’ll be with you.”
When these Christians later met in an Upper Room, they waited expectantly because Jesus had promised that something significant was about to happen; someone was going to arrive who was going to help them navigate the years to come. When the Holy Spirit entered the room, these men and women were filled with such an extraordinary power that a movement was birthed that is still growing today.
UPPER ROOM ACADEMY is our training school to equip disciples from all backgrounds, nationalities, ages, classes, walks of life and level of education to rediscover some of that raw adventure and boldness in a way that fits our history, gifting and location.
UPPER ROOM ACADEMY is focused on capturing the heart of how the early church operated to help us start small groups and plant, grow and encourage hundreds of churches across north London and beyond.
In the Nineteenth Century Charles Spurgeon called his church members to start small Gospel fires wherever they lived, and in due course hundreds of churches were planted across the towns and suburbs across South London. We feel that prophetically God is calling us to play our part in doing the same thing across North London.
It’s not rocket science, but it is how the early Church grew from a ragtag bunch of believers into a world defining movement of churches.
If you want to be part of a movement that plays its part in reaching north London (& beyond) with the gospel and helps to plant hundreds of churches the UPPER ROOM ACADEMY is for you.
