The Co-Mission Podcast

• Planting | Life Church Hackbridge

  In this episode of the Co-Mission Podcast, we interview Jonny Burgess about a new church plant in Hackbridge. Jonny, currently a pastor at ChristChurch Balham, shares his journey from growing up in Sussex, coming to faith, and serving in The Gambia, to preparing for church planting in South London. We cover the unique challenges and joys of starting a new church, the importance of team building, prayer, and support from the wider church network. Jonny discusses spiritual attack, personal struggles, and the value of humility and vulnerability in ministry. The episode also highlights practical steps in church planting, community outreach, and the significance of relying on God’s plan.    Watch a short film highlighting the planting efforts and the view of Hackbridge HERE   The Co-Mission Podcast is all about the church planting efforts of many faithful people in the Co-Mission network of churches in London. We see to honour the Lord Jesus in all we do and we're passionate about reaching the lost by, along with others, planting churches into unreached areas of the city.  If you have questions or comments, or have a suggestion on how we can make this podcast a more helpful resource, email us at [email protected]
