SPN
Surrey Pastor Network — Church of Surrey
The Surrey Pastors Network (SPN) officially became a recognized non-profit society two years ago and received charitable status last Easter (2005). However, the group that founded the regular prayer meetings and the relational networking started many years ago. For several years pastors have met for weekly prayer in three primary locations in the city: Cloverdale, White Rock and Central Surrey. Those groups have developed at various rates according to the initiative of key leaders and the participation of the local pastors. In each of them there is a genuine valuing of the diverse expressions of Christ’s body in the city.

Early last year (March, 2005) the SPN servant leadership team discerned that the workload and the potential for growing our influence in the city would require one of our own to take the lead with a part time paid position. We presented this at our pastors group and to the Church of Surrey at the annual Good Friday gathering. You affirmed this decision with your wallets and we initiated a one year contract of 16 hours a week. The mandate of the Surrey Pastors Network Servant Leader is to advance functional and spiritual networks of relationships between pastors and their congregations to further the work of the Kingdom of God in the City of Surrey. This is accomplished through three primary avenues: awareness, involvement, and networking events.

Throughout the year other individuals and congregations have given generously to this ministry project. The influence of this position and ministry focus has resulted in the following blessings and opportunities:
Greater awareness about the unity we share in the Church of Surrey
Increased collaboration between pastors, congregations and leaders
Ongoing prayer connections amongst leaders on behalf of our city
A greater voice into city hall about social and spiritual issues
Continued support for NightShift Street Ministry

Thank you for contributing to the unity and influence of the Church of Surrey in the City by giving your offering. I am encouraged by the Lord Himself to continue in this role as a pastor to the city and without your continued help in prayer and support it will not be possible.

Yours sincerely and in Christ,
Alan Simpson, SPN Servant Leader
