Plumbline Ministries International
Colchester Area Community Church (CaCC) is part of the
Plumbline family of churches and recognises Simon Matthews as
apostle to CaCC.
In 1984, Simon and Julia Matthews felt God leading them to
move from Cornwall to East Anglia in order to concentrate on
churching planting and development.
Having both been involved in church leadership for many years,
including Youth Director for Good News Crusade, Simon and Julia
along with a few others established an apostolic base in Huntingdon
from where a 'Jerusalem, Judea and to the uttermost parts of
the earth' (Acts 1:8) vision would take shape. In essence, this
was the birthing of 'Plumbline Ministries'.
Simon's vision comes from his anointing as an apostle and 'spiritual
father'. He is passionate to see:
Individuals and churches birthed and grounded in Christ.
Christians equipped and empowered to fulfil their calling.
The body of Christ strong and working in unity
Revival and Spiritual Awakening in our communities
Plumbline does not seek to be a denomination, affiliation or
organisation (though for practical reasons a charitable organisation
exists) but rather a 'Family'.
As part of God's greater family, we are joined in relationship
together by apostolic fathering and committed to the vision
outlined. Some of the distinctive values of Plumbline are:
God's Word is our plumbline
The importance of Vision
Family/Relationships (not a denomination/organisation)
Reality and Integrity
Variety (not uniformity) amongst the related churches.
