About Us
Vision of the church
​
We are an independent and self-funded church a member of the Ground Level network of churches, who’s vision is to help churches fulfil their own visions.
The vision of the church is based around the town of Watton Norfolk and the surrounding area.
The vision is to build the Kingdom of God and to extend the tent pegs of the church not only locally but also globally, through supporting one another and working in unity both within Home Church but also with other churches who have a likeminded vision.
The vision of Home Church is to be a sanctuary, a place of acceptance and love for all people and to be a safe place of refuge and hope, and to share knowledge and resources to equip and enable other Christians to extend the Kingdom of God.
