City of Faith Church

City of Faith Church is a multi-cultural church in South London situated in the London Borough of Lewisham which has faced local opposition. The congregation is a church in fellowship with the Assemblies of God in Great Britain,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Assemblies of God in Great Britain )〕 a worldwide Pentecostal denomination. The church is part of a network of local and international branches.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 COFC )
== Historic building ==

In recent years, the church used a building in the Grove Park Estate which was built in 1935. During the 1920s, Lewisham Council determined that as the estate was being developed, it should also include a church. Mr Frederick E Pinkess, who had been running a mobile Sunday school in the community decided to apply for permission to get a church built. He believed that the area had potential for a viable parish. With the help of the Shaftesbury Society, which was affiliated to the Baptist Church, Mr Pinkess raised enough money to build a church which was completed in May 1935. It was a non-denominational place of worship called Grove Park Mission and served as a mercy ministry to the poor.〔Detailed history according to the late Pastor Gordon Thomson (interviewed in 2007)〕 In the 1930s and 1940s, the church had an outreach programme in the community especially amongst the children, which led to a Sunday school. Outreaches included opening-air singing and playing hymns along the local residential streets while carrying around the heavy church organ for music. There were regular open air outreaches every Sunday afternoon and evening for many years.〔Detailed history given during a visit by David Pinkess (son of Fred Pinkess) and Adrian Pinkess (grandson of Fred Pinkess) on 11 April 2012〕
In 1947, the work was connected with the Free Church movement which was of the Plymouth Brethren movement. Then from 1961, Pastor Gordon Thomson who was connected to Honor Oak Christian Fellowship became the long-term pastor of the congregation called The Christian Fellowship. A local branch of Operation Mobilisation was also instrumental in helping with this work.〔
In 1987, Book Aid began to lease space in the building from The Christian Fellowship, and then in 2006 the building began to be used by City of Faith Church who had migrated from Southwest London. Pastor Thomson said they were thankful to see the church building once again being used by a new congregation. He and his wife both died within a month of each other in 2007. The church moved out of the building in 2015 into simpler premises.
