History and Mission

Originally planted from a London-based Ethiopian ethnic community church, Christ Community Church evolved with a vision to transcend ethnic boundaries and embrace the many nations represented in London’s multicultural population. This transition into a multinational church occurred at the end of 2017, primarily involving second-generation members of the mother church. The church’s mission is to impact surrounding communities with the love and transformative power of Jesus Christ, fostering renewal and positive change in individuals and environments.

The church’s vision centers on people of all nationalities experiencing transformation through Christ and subsequently sharing their faith confidently and powerfully in their everyday lives. A key strategy involves planting churches within native communities and environments, aiming to permeate areas where members live, work, and socialize with Christian teachings and love.
