OUR PLANS

We are now looking for partners to help us plant churches, initially around London. 

We have already identified key locations around the perimeter of the city. 

Despite a great deal of disruption over the last few years, the church has grown significantly, and our elders believe we are now ready to begin church-planting. 

The next steps are to recruit the first church-planter, establish a network of supporting churches, and begin training a team to be sent out as our first church plant within the next 2-3 years. 

We would plan to repeat this cycle as soon as possible, and aim at sending out 4 church-plants around London as our first priority. 

WHY LONDON?

We have looked carefully at the distribution of the population of the UK, and calculated that with only 4 more churches planted around the perimeter of this city, we can reach out to more people than if we planted churches in the top 22 most populous cities in our country.

Beyond London, we have identified 21 other locations around Great Britain that we believe would be key locations for a church-plant, but the sheer weight of numbers of people that live in and around this great city makes us believe that London is strategically the obvious place to begin.

Reach London, and you reach the world

There are more than 300 languages spoken in London, which is more than any other city in the world. In 2015 it ranked as the most visited city in the world.

To reach the UK, we must reach London

With a population of 14.8 million that means about 1 in 4 people in the UK live in London. With our plans to plant 4 churches strategically placed around the perimeter, it will put almost ⅓ of the UK’s population within reach a church like GraceLife London.

HOW CAN WE PRAY

For the identification and recruitment of key individuals to come and join the pastoral team at GraceLife London in order to strengthen/develop our church and work towards a church-plant.

For strategic partnerships with the right churches who would share our vision and want to share the burden spiritually and financially to see this work through.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

• Pray. Join our prayer-support! Email us here to receive updates and to be kept informed for prayer.
• Go. Let us know if you would like to take part in one of these church plants.
• Give. Funds are needed right now to remove the roadblocks to continued growth — we need to redevelop the building. Funds are also needed to employ the key individuals who will strengthen the work here at GraceLife London and work towards the first church-plant. If you would like to help get this work off the ground and be part of this work of planting by giving, we would love to have your help!
