Celebration as church marks first birthday

First birthdays are special, and for an Essex ‘church in the home’ – its first birthday marked an encouraging year despite the pandemic.

Cornerstone Church in Colchester, an Anglican church, began on 18 October 2020 under the oversight of Anglican Mission in England (AMiE). It has coined the phrase ‘… starting in the home, sustained in the home!’ to reflect the church’s conviction of the value of meeting in the home.

The pastor, John Parker, said that during its first year people moved into the area who ‘want to be part of something new, Biblically faithful on ethical issues, and Anglican’.
