- Bigger capacity. More people means affording more staff, interns, trainees, future missionaries and church plants.
- Secure (can’t be kicked out, a stable base).
- Designed (better equipment, rooms designed for us, have spaces we don’t currently have i.e. library, study space, use of the 3rd floor flat for people to stay)
- Much less time and effort spent on logistics. More time investing in people. The “tools of ministry” are always ready.
- Helps to cultivate and build a CCL culture. Temporary spaces means we’re more fragmented and go off to other places more quickly. More people hanging around creates opportunities for spontaneous discipleship.
- Visibility and prominence. If we are sending people out, having a stable hub makes it easier and more impactful when people signpost to us. Much harder invite when people don’t know who we are or where we are
