Introduction to ChristChurch London: I – An Invitation to God’s Mission

Sun May 19, 13.30 - 15.00

We believe that God wants the best for this city, and we are committed to working out what it means to be a church that makes a difference in this context. If you’re new to ChristChurch London, you may have a load of questions about what we stand for, where we’re heading, and how you can get involved. This course will express what really matters for us as a church, and to help you make the most of your time here at ChristChurch London.

In this first session we will ask what is God’s mission? And what role does ChristChurch London have to play in working for the spiritual, social and cultural renewal of this city?

This course will take place in the Queenhithe Room at the Mermaid Theatre, and will include some teaching, an opportunity to meet others, and plenty of time to ask questions. Book your place online.

Prayer Meeting

Wed May 22, 19.30 - 21.30

Prayer is a central part of ChristChurch London. We believe that it's a great privilege to be able to communicate with God, and so once a term we gather together to spend an evening praying, thanking Him for all that He has done, and looking forward to all that He will continue to do in our church, our city and our nation.

Faith Conversations: Is God a Moral Monster? - Liam Thatcher

Sun Jun 02, 16.00 - 17.30

Many people struggle with the picture of God painted by the Old Testament, and consider Him to be wicked and unpleasant. In this talk, Liam will consider how Christians, who claim to worship a God of Love, ought to understand difficult passages in which God commands seemingly-immoral actions, such as slavery and genocide. 

Please note, Liam Thatcher will only be speaking at the 16.00 meeting. 

Faith Conversations: More Than Words - David Stroud

Sun May 19, 11.00 - 12.30 & 16.00 - 17.30

Jesus sent the disciples out to be his witnesses, and promised that they would receive power for their mission from the Holy Spirit. On Pentecost Sunday, David will look at how the presence of the Holy Spirit makes us distinctive, and how we can demonstrate genuine power, without looking odd!

Faith Conversations: Breaking the Sound Barrier - Tim Frisby

Sun May 26, 11.00 - 12.30 & 16.00 - 17.30

For many people, the hardest challenge in sharing your faith is taking that first step. In the third talk of this series, Tim Frisby will look at some simple ways to begin conversations about spiritual matters. 

Prof. Alister McGrath - God and the New Atheists

Sun Jun 02, 11.00 - 12.30

Surely belief in God is irrational and out-dated? Haven’t we moved beyond such superstitious ideas? Hasn’t science removed our need for a God? In recent years there have been a number of key thinkers who have argued that religion is indeed at best irrelevant, and at worst the cause of most of the evils in society. These thinkers have often been referred to as The New Atheists, and on Sunday 2 June, guest speaker Professor Alister McGrath will address some of their claims.

Professor McGrath is a much-sought-after writer and speaker, and has debated many of the world’s leading atheists, including Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett and the late Christopher Hitchens. He will examine some of their key arguments, and seek to demonstrate why Christianity provides compelling answers to their doubts and questions.

Please note, Professor McGrath will only speak at the 11.00 meeting.
