Church Planting
Church planting is a term referring to the process (mostly in Protestant frameworks) that results in a new local Christian congregation being established. It should be distinguished from church development, where a new service, worship center or fresh expression is created that is integrated into an already established congregation. For a local church to be planted, it must eventually have a separate life of its own and be able to function without its parent body, even if it continues to stay in relationship denominationally or through being part of a network. History of church planting According to the Rev. Mike Ruhl, “Church planting has been happening for nearly twenty centuries.” The first place that the church spread from Judea was Samaria. Christianity spread to other areas because persecution forced the Christians to leave Jerusalem. Christianity then spread to the Gentiles largely because of the Apostle Paul, who had formerly been a Pharisee and a persecutor of the c ...

St Dionis, Parsons Green
St. Dionis, Parsons Green, is a Grade II listed Anglican church at Parsons Green, Fulham, London. History The church was built in 1886 in the Perpendicular Gothic style to a design by the architect Ewan Christian. It replaced the 1876 building to the right, St Dionis Mission Hall, which became its Mission Hall. It was named after St Dionis Backchurch, a parish church in the City of London of medieval origin, which was rebuilt after the Great Fire of London to the designs of Christopher Wren. After being declared unsafe, it was demolished in 1878. St. Dionis, Parsons Green, was paid for with the proceeds of the sale of the site, and the font and pulpit of the City church survive there. The name "Dionis" is, in fact, a corruption of Denis, the name of the traditional apostle of France who was beheaded while trying to convert the Parisians in the 3rd century. The church, therefore, is dedicated to Saint Denis. St Dionis Vicarage, built 1898–99, is to the left. References ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Holy Sepulchre London, formerly and in some official uses Saint Sepulchre-without-Newgate, is the largest Anglican parish church in the City of London.

St Augustine's, Queen's Gate
St Augustine's, Queen's Gate, is a Grade II* listed Anglican church in Queen's Gate, Brompton, London, England. The church was built in 1865, and the architect was William Butterfield. History In 1865 the curate of Holy Trinity, Brompton, the Reverend R. R. Chope, had a temporary iron church put up in his garden off Gloucester Road, and there he would conduct services which, for one writer of the time, were "the nearest approach to Romanism we have witnessed in an Anglican church … if indeed it be not very Popery itself under the thinnest guise of the Protestant name". Finding the temporary church inadequate, a group of influential members of his congregation approached the Church Commissioners later that year with a request for the formation of a new parish in South Kensington to be known as St Augustine's. They offered a 'benefaction' of £100 per annum, stipulating that the first incumbent should be Mr Chope. Retrieved 15 January 2016. As there was no shortage of churches in ...

St John's Hampton Wick
St John's Hampton Wick is a Grade II listed Church of England church on Church Grove and St John's Road in Hampton Wick, in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. It was built to a design by Edward Lapidge in 1829–30. History St John's was originally conceived as a chapel of ease to the parish church of St Mary at Hampton about miles away, but following its completion, the district assigned to it was made a separate parish. The Church Commissioners funded its construction on the condition that the parish church should also be enlarged at the same time. The cost of the church and the enclosure of the site was about £4,500. The first stone was laid on 7 October 1829, and the building was completed by 8 November 1830.
