Church of England
The Church of England is the primary state church in England. The Church of England is also considered to be the mother church of the Anglican Communion, which represents over 85 million people in more than 165 countries. The Church of England’s most senior cleric is the Archbishop of Canterbury.
The Gregory Centre for Church Multiplication (CCX), led by the Bishop of Islington, the Rt Revd Ric Thorpe, finds its home within the Church of England, but works with many denominations and networks, including Baptist, Methodist, Pentecostal and Roman Catholic.
CCX is honoured to work in partnership with the Church of England as a recipient of People and Partnerships Funding. We work to enable the strategic priorities and the bold outcomes of the Church of England’s Vision and Strategy for the 2020s, with specific focus on doubling the number of children and young active disciples by 2030.
CCX is partnering with the whole of the Church of England to address this challenge. We are scaling proven programmes and piloting innovative solutions designed to enhance young people’s participation and encourage their continued engagement with the Church.
