Church Planting Foundations
We need more gospel lighthouses
There are a millions of Londoners in the dark with no church on their horizon holding up the light of the gospel and behaving as a community in such a way that adorns and magnifies that light.
“the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth”
1 Timothy 3:15
- Over 8 million people in London are without Christ
- 37% of Londoners don't know a Christian
- 1000 new churches are needed to lift Christians from 9 to 10%
- The population of London is increasing by 100k per year
- Many churches are not evangelical, missional, flexible or sustainable
We need more church planters: willing, well equipped, well supported, encouraged and emboldened in Christ
Co-Mission is not the only church planting network. Many are working hard to reach the city. But we’d love to do our part. Training is a important part of our commitment to plant healthy evangelistic churches. It’s mainly for those planting with Co-Mission but it is open to those from other networks.
