As a newly formed CIO, The Kent Gospel Partnership (KGP) consists of local churches and individuals partnering to proclaim the Gospel of Christ to all people in Kent for the glory of God. The KGP seeks to estabLish a partnership of Bible-centred churches in Kent working together to train Christian leaders to strengthen and plant churches and to advance the gospeL of Jesus Christ. We aim to do this through events, prayer and support. Events Prayer Support Kent Men's and Women's Conventions are heLd annually at various church venues around Kent. The conventions are growing in numbers of attendees as we move away from the COVID years. It is a realjoy for the KGP to be able to host these events of excellent biblical teaching, fellowship and worship for Christian men and women across Kent. We believe these events encourage and support Christians from large and smaLL churches to meet others, share, network and go back to their home churches revived in their faith.
