What an Incredible Easter Sunday at King's Community Church!
WRITTEN BY andy & janet JOHNSTON
We began this year believing that 2025 would be a year of harvest—and we are already seeing our hopes and expectations fulfilled.
Like the psalmist in Psalm 126, we declare:
Janet and I have both been part of the Church for over 60 years, and we’ve been involved in church leadership for 30 of those years. But what we witnessed last Sunday at KCC was unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. We’ve attended conferences and events where hundreds have responded to the Gospel, but never in a local church setting like this. Seeing 120 people make either a first-time commitment or a recommitment to Jesus was beyond anything we had dreamed possible. And on top of that, 70 children in our Primary-aged group responded to the Gospel! We are deeply grateful to God.
We also want to extend a massive thank you to everyone who served on our amazing teams this Easter Sunday. You truly went the extra mile as we welcomed our largest-ever Sunday morning attendance—1,580 people!
To the car park team, welcome team, stewards, fire marshals, first aiders, worship and production teams, refreshments team, prayer ministry team, and our wonderful crèche and children’s ministry teams—thank you for your dedication and servant hearts.
A huge well done to everyone who stepped out in faith—inviting friends, handing out “Love Your Community” tokens, and leafleting your streets. What a joy it was to see the auditorium full in both services! We are loving the stories of lives changed—people coming to faith, and many returning to Jesus. We truly believe the Solent will be transformed—one person at a time—as people encounter the love of God.
And if all this wasn’t enough… J. John and Killy loved being with us so much that they’ve offered to return for our Carol Service in December! That’s right—J. John is coming back for Christmas as we continue to pray and believe for a year of harvest.
We are believing God for £1 million to reach one million people.
We are believing God for a year of harvest.
We are believing God for the next generation.
We are believing God for revival.
Thank you for partnering with us on this incredible adventure.
Like the psalmist in Psalm 126, we declare:
“When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, ‘The Lord has done great things for them.’ The Lord has done great things for us; we are glad.”
