About.

 

Christians from local churches, and some from further afield, volunteer to work together for a week each summer, sharing the good news of God's love for everyone, through a mixture of fun and thought-provoking events for children, teenagers and adults.

An evangelistic summer mission event has been held in Frinton-on-Sea for more than a hundred years. Until 1992 it was run by Scripture Union as a CSSM beach mission.

In 1993 the local Frinton area churches (FACT) agreed to take on the running of the event under its new name of Frinton Mission. Every summer, around the first week in August, a team of over a hundred leaders and helpers staff a busy week of activities for children, teenagers and adults in various venues around the town. 

A stage is situated on the Greensward at the end of Connaught Avenue. This serves as an information point and as a meeting place for large gatherings for worship services on the Sundays, and for concerts and performances every afternoon. Other local venues are used for evening events for adults.

Local church premises are used as the venues for age-specific teaching and activities for children and teenagers, and for focused Bible study for adults. 

A great strength of Frinton Mission is the way in which the churches in the town work together so effectively, to give everyone the opportunity to meet with God in all sorts of ways, and to help his people grow in their faith through this exciting annual event.

What We Believe.

 

As Evangelical Christians, we proclaim the Gospel, believing the three-in-one God shown in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible.

The following statements explain the foundation points of our Christian faith, which encourages love towards other people, with a desire to provide practical help and to point them to a relationship with God.

We believe that:

  • God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) shows us through creation, provision, salvation and the promise of final judgement, that he is all-powerful and all-loving.

  • The whole Bible is the true and inspired Word of God, the final authority on all aspects of Christian faith and behaviour.

  • The man, Jesus Christ, the unique Son of God, provided the only possible escape from the guilt and power of sin, and from its eternal consequences, by his death in our place.

  • By the death and resurrection of Jesus, God transforms the believing sinner, so that they are perfect in his sight.

  • God the Holy Spirit is present in the believer to bring increasing understanding and development into the likeness of Jesus.

  • Each individual believer has access to God.  Together, all believers form the "Universal Church" or "The Body of Christ," with Christ as the Head, committed to spreading his Gospel.

  • The Lord Jesus Christ will be seen and universally recognised when, as promised in the Bible, he makes his spectacular return to Earth.
