Meet the church behind the mission
Built from Living Stones: The Church was never a structure of brick and mortar. Scripture speaks of something far more alive, living stones, shaped and placed together by the hand of God, forming something the world has never seen: a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people set apart not for comfort, but for commission. You are not an audience. You are a stone being set in place. At Eden 3:16, we believe the Church awakens when every member understands who they are and what they carry. Not a spectator faith, a participatory one.
A welcome from the Founders & Senior Leadership: Jacques & Des-Mary
Dear Friends, Welcome to Eden 3:16. We are so grateful that you have found your way here. Whether you are exploring faith, looking for community, or sensing that God is calling you into something deeper, we want you to know that you are welcome. Eden 3:16 was born from a simple but powerful conviction: the Kingdom of God was never meant to be confined within four walls. From the beginning, God's heart has been for every nation, every people, and every generation. We believe He is still gathering His people today, not merely into a church service, but into His purpose. As founders, our desire is not to build an institution but to cultivate a community of believers who know Jesus, love His presence, and carry His Kingdom wherever they go. We believe the Church is made up of living stones, ordinary people transformed by an extraordinary God and joined together for His glory. We would like to personally welcome you. See you soon!
What does it mean to spread the Gospel of the Kingdom?
It means finding people right here in Runcorn, walking with them through encounter, equipping them with truth, and empowering them to live as part of a holy nation.
How we live out our values in Runcorn
Our values aren’t just words on a page. They shape how we gather, how we grow, and how we send disciples out from this community.
Encounter over information
We create space for real meetings with God, not just lectures about him. Worship, prayer, and honest conversation come first.
Walk the journey together
Discipleship happens in the ordinary. We don’t drop a curriculum on you. We walk alongside you, week by week, in Runcorn.
Built to send, not store
We exist to equip every believer for their own calling. You’re not meant to stay a student forever. You’re meant to go.
Kingdom for all nations
The Gospel is good news for every people group. We pray, give, and go with that in mind — starting here and reaching the ends of the earth.
Your next step in Runcorn
Walk with us — encounter, equip, and be empowered alongside others on the same road.
Honest questions about what we do
If you have any further questions, please contact us.
Do I have to be part of a particular church already?
Not at all. Eden 3:16 isn't a building you join. It's a community of disciples being called out. Wherever you are on your journey, you're welcome.
Is this a new denomination?
No. We're not another label. We're focused on the living stones, calling out the royal priesthood and holy nation, to encounter, be equipped, and be empowered for the Kingdom.
What does 'discipleship' actually look like here?
It looks like walking with someone. We find disciples, walk with them, and help them find their next step. It's relational, not a program.
Do you have Sunday services I can attend?
Yes we have weekly Sunday services. Our focus is on gathering as the body of Christ wherever we are, to spread the Gospel one encounter at a time.
How do I get involved if I'm in Runcorn?
Get in touch. We'll meet you, listen to your story, and talk about where you might fit. No pressure, just an honest conversation.
Is this only for people who already believe?
Absolutely not. The Kingdom is for everyone. If you're curious, searching, or just starting to ask questions, you're exactly where you need to be.
