This year we have three northern Taking Ground churches hosting teams of students from Texas: Hexham, Birtley and Sunderland!
The teams will be around from 6th–11th March 2018 and will be involved in schools and community work and locals events in each area (including the ever-popular line dancing night!), all with a focus of sharing the good news of Jesus.
All three churches will come together with their Texan teams, as well as Durham Community Church, for a joint northern celebration service at Hexham Community Church on Sunday 11th March.

We know lots of you are excited to attend our first Taking Ground Family Camp in the north east of England this year. To all those who have booked and made the best of those early bird prices, thank you!
However, to those who are thinking of coming and have not yet booked… we need you booked in by 28th February, otherwise the camp may not be able to go ahead.
As a family of churches, we know what a fantastic opportunity this camp will be to grow together, build faith, and make connections across our north east sphere of Salt & Light UK. It would be a real shame not to be able to make this happen, so make sure you are booked in!
You can find more information on the camp, including (low) prices and the booking link, here.
If you are already booked in, why not be an ambassador for your church and encourage others?
Taking Ground is holding its FIRST EVER regional Family Camp in spring 2018! Set over the early May bank holiday, this is a fantastic opportunity to grow closer to God, discovering His heart for Taking Ground, while being a church family and having fun together!
