The Third Thing

On the 16th November 2010 Pastor Mark Driscoll from Mars Hill Church spoke in St Anne's Cathedral, Belfast. At one point in his presentation he mentioned the struggles we have with Religious attitudes, and how Protestant and Catholic confrontations are getting in the way of what really matters.

He said this; "It's almost like you need a third thing" and then moved on to other matters... The team at Crown Jesus Ministries spent the next year marinating in those three words The Third Thing... and came to the conclusion that's exactly what is needed.

12 months later and The Third Thing is launched.


What is The Third Thing?

  • It's a brand with a difference
  • It's a challenge to break free for religious stereotypes
  • It's a great tool for outreach using a simple statement that we can find common ground upon

What it is not:

  • Another religion or denomination
  • A movement inviting us to compromise on God's Word
  • A call to rebel or to leave your church

Our aim is:

"Releasing people from religion and rebellion and into a relationship with Jesus"

The Third thing brand is a brand with a difference. It is non-profit making (any profits made will go directly into Compassion U.K).


The Statement of faith:

I believe in God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I believe Jesus is God's Son who died for the sins of the world and then defeated death to rise again. I believe the Bible is God's inspired Word and the ultimate source of authority for my life. Therefore, I do not add to, subtract from, twist or mess with it! I believe the Holy Spirit is active today convicting people of sin and helping every Christian live for Jesus.

I will not be labeled by denominations, Protestant or Catholic stereotypes, or my past mistakes. Yesterday does not define me and tomorrow does not frighten me. Today I am committed to Jesus and passionate about extending His Kingdom here on earth.
...I am a member of the Third Thing.
