Reaching new people through sport and wellbeing - CCX

Revd Chris Kennedy is a pioneer sports minister based in Teddington, Greater London. His ministry, Activate, sees him use sport and wellbeing activities to reach out to new people in new ways. Find out more about his story and what the call of pioneering means to him.

Pioneers are envoys of the good news of Jesus, called to go beyond the church walls and create communities amongst those who don’t naturally connect with church culture.

We help the Church pioneer, starting new church communities in creative ways. If you would like to know more about pioneering, Phil Hoyle would love to hear from you.
