Gateway to the south for new church plant

Some of the planting team.

Balham in London was once famously described by the late comedian Peter Sellers as the “gateway to the south” in a much-loved comedy parody of American travelogues.

Now decades later those words are proving prophetic as Christ Church Balham (CCB) seeks to reach out and plant a new church some six miles to its south. CCB is part of both the Co-Mission reformed church planting movement and the Anglican Mission in England (AMiE).

Jonny Burgess is an assistant pastor at CCB, and will be leading the church plant in September. He writes: “We are in the thick of planning and preparing, seeing great answers to prayer, and feeling the spiritual battle.
