Meet a member of your persecuted church family

Thursday August 7, 2025 2:30pm - 2:50pm BST

The Bible talks about the church being a connected family and this doesn't just mean our local church, or even what we are experiencing at Satellites. Instead, it means that we are also connected to our global church family and some of that church is being persecuted. This means they could be excluded, arrested, beaten or even killed for their faith in Jesus. Come and meet Alexis from Mexico who grew up being persecuted, ask him your questions, shake his hand and connect with our global family.

Speakers

Alexis

Alexis is coming to us from overseas to share his experiences in the persecuted church. For security reasons we're unable to share his real name or a photo, and we'd ask you not to take any pictures of him on site (thanks!).

Everything is Spiritual

Friday August 8, 2025 3:00pm - 3:20pm BST

We can sometimes imagine that God is only interested in the 'spiritual' parts of our lives - by which we mean the time we spend in church, or praying or reading the Bible. But the truth is that God is interested in every part of our lives - because everything is spiritual. In an era when everything we see and hear is often categorised as sacred or secular and the spiritual world is misunderstood or pushed to the margins it’s important for us to fight against these subtle mindsets and engage with God’s mission. God is everywhere, all the time and he’s active, whether we know it or not. God’s got plans…do you want to know what they are?
