About Us

Church of the Risen Christ is in relational partnership with SAINT, seeking to join them in bringing hope to the people of East London. As Romans 15:13 says: “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” We aim to play our part in seeing a renaissance: restoring lives, revitalising churches and renewing culture.

We are a diverse, dynamic and fast-growing church formed of multiple East London parishes. We have been commissioned as a resource church to serve young people, train diverse leaders and plant churches in partnership with a network of friends.

Pointing people to the hope found in Jesus is the DNA of every value, initiative, and ministry area undertaken in the parish. We also use HOPE as an acronym for the values that our church community seeks to live by:

HONOUR

We seek to honour God in worship and each other in love, living positively with gratitude, pursuing holiness & inspiring each other to excellence. Everyone is a VIP.

OPENNESS

Church is for the people. Everyone is invited, and everyone is welcome to come as they are. We are open to God in word and sacrament, and are hungry to learn.

PROXIMITY

We’re committed to God’s presence, working in God’s people, rooted in place and parish. We seek to be relationally present to each other, pursuing justice in love.

EMPOWERMENT

We want to encourage diverse and creative leaders, empowering each other to innovate and give life. We try to have fun, be brave & be generous.
