Jubilee International Church
Jubilee International Church was established in 1992 with just 7 members in Clapham, London SW4. They then purchased and modernised a former 1935 Baptist church building and moved in 2006 to the Chinbrook and the former Chinbrook Meadows areas of Grove Park.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Churches in Grove Park, London SE12 )〕 The church was part of the Assemblies of God in Great Britain,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Assemblies of God in Great Britain )〕 a leading Pentecostal denomination worldwide. The church had a number of branches in the UK and in several nations worldwide.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 JIC website )〕
==History of the building==
When the Grove Park Estate was first built in the 1920s, Lewisham Council determined that it should also include a church. Mr Frederick E Pinkess who had been running a successful ‘mobile’ Sunday school in the community decided to apply for permission to get a church built. He could clearly see that the area had potential for a thriving 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 a very popular and effective outreach programme in the community especially amongst the children, which led to a thriving 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 now called The Christian Fellowship. A local branch of Operation Mobilisation was also instrumental in helping with this work.〔Detailed history according to the late Pastor Gordon Thomson (interviewed in 2007)〕
In 1987, Book Aid began to lease space in the building from The Christian Fellowship, and then in August 2005 the building was sold to Jubilee International Church who had migrated from the Clapham area. Pastor Thomson expressed the fact that they were thankful to see the church building in the hands of a new thriving congregation. He and his wife both died within a month of each other in 2007.
