CCC Gillingham & Rainham Sermons

By CCC Gillingham Sermons

Catch up with the latest teaching from the Gillingham and Rainham Community of Cornerstone City Church, Medway.

We believe Christianity holds the truth to our purpose, and that Jesus has the power to transform lives. God loves us, Jesus died for us, the Spirit has been poured out on us.

Every week, we meet together to hear his truth preached from the Bible, and to experience his power, as we build one another up in faith, hope and love.
