The Co-Mission Podcast

In this first of a two-part conversation, Adam sits down with Andy Mason (St. John's Chelsea, Co-Mission Mission Director) and Jonty Allcock (The Globe Church) to unpack Co-Mission's Vision, Values, and Goals as a church planting network reaching London for Christ.

 In part 1, they discuss Vision and Values and why church planting is central to reaching the city, local churches as "embassies of heaven" displaying God's wisdom and the sobering stat that London would need 1,000 new churches just to move from 8.8% to 10% church attendance. They also explore the spiritual temperature of the city, how Co-Mission trains and funds new plants, and then walk through the network's core values:

1. A well-defined centre
2. Mutual commitment
3. Spiritual health
4. Risk-taking
5. Generosity
6. Diversity

In this episode of the Co-Mission Podcast, we sit down with Jez Day, curate at St. Peter's Fulham, to talk about the early stages of planting a new church in Acton, Northwest London. Jez shares his journey from politics to full-time ministry, why Acton was chosen, and what it's like committing to something that doesn't exist yet.

Who is Jez Day? Jez Day is a Church of England curate at St. Peter's Fulham and a church planter preparing to start a new church in Acton, West London. He previously trained at St. John's Chelsea, studied at Oak Hill Theological College, and has spent over 15 years in Co-Mission churches.  To contact Jez directly: jez.day@stpetersfulham.co.uk.

Why is a new church being planted in Acton? Acton, in the London Borough of Ealing, has been identified as having one of the lowest rates of gospel-centred church attendance in London. According to Jez, there is currently no church in the area where someone would be "fed, discipled, and have the hard stuff in the Bible preached to them." Half of Acton's residents were not born in the UK, 20% are Muslim, and the area is home to approximately 100,000 people across diverse communities.

What is the Old Oak Common development? Acton sits near Old Oak Common, one of the largest redevelopment projects in Europe, bringing HS2 and thousands of new housing units to the area over the next 15–20 years, making church planting in Acton strategically timely.

What is Co-Mission? Co-Mission is a London-based church planting network passionate about reaching every area of the city with the gospel. They support planters with prayer, pastoral wisdom, practical resources, and funding. There are approximately 35,000 people within half a mile of any Co-Mission church.
