We are passionate to see our community thriving with Jesus at the heart of every person and every place.
Starting at Barking Riverside we are joining God’s movement to bring life to the UK by multiplying disciples, raising up leaders, planting churches, and shaping communities.
The church is who we are, not where we go; a people not a building. People who are so in love with Jesus that we shape our lives around dependence on Him; who believe that if we can do this life without Jesus or one another then we’re missing the point.

Who are we?
We’re starting a new Christian community in Barking Riverside as part of the Church of England. What we mean by that is shaped by our belief that Church is who we are, not a place we go.
