Mission Partners

Christ Church is committed to serving God and seeking his kingdom in the local community and beyond.   Members of the church are involved in a wide range of community groups, from local resident and tenant associations to local, national and international charities.

The church specifically supports a number of organisations through donations, as part of its commitment as a church to give as its receives, as well as encouraging individuals to be involved in prayer and practical involvement.

Lambeth and Croydon Foodbank

Lambeth & Croydon Foodbank, formerly Norwood & Brixton Foodbank, has been serving communities in crisis since 2011, growing from a small church space to a network of five hubs across Lambeth and Croydon. As part of the Trussell Trust, it expanded its reach through partnerships and mergers with other local foodbanks, especially during the Covid pandemic when it shifted to a full delivery model. The organisation continues to offer face-to-face support, maintains strong ties with Christians Against Poverty, and is powered by dedicated volunteers—earning the King’s Award for Voluntary Service in 2023. In 2022/2023 alone, it provided food and support to over 27,000 people. To find out more, donate or volunteer please visit www.lambethcroydon.foodbank.org.uk.

CMS (Church Mission Society)

CMS is an Anglican mission society which was founded over 150 years ago out of the campaign to abolish the slave trade.  It is now committed to building communities around the world where the gospel of Jesus Christ can be made known in word and deed. Operating in Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America, CMS also has a significant number of missionaries working in the UK. Their work is wide ranging, from drug rehabilitation work in the Ukraine through working with young people in South Sudan to HIV work in India.
