Vision
This section aims to show you what our vision for Christ Church Derby is.
Who's behind Christ Church Derby?
The church is being planted by an evangelical Anglican church called St Alkmund’s in Duffield. The vision of the church in recent years has been to see a number of new congregations planted and Christ Church is the first of those new churches.
As for staff, Jonty Rhodes, currently the Assistant Minister at Duffield will be finishing at Duffield in the summer and will be working full-time for the church plant as its minister. St Alkmund’s will be funding the initial stages of the church plant.
Even though St Alkmund’s is obviously an Anglican church, this doesn’t mean that the church plant is Anglican. Christ Church Derby will be an independent church. While all of the details are still to be worked out, we know for sure that we’ll have elders and deacons and will have some formal church membership system.
As well as Jonty, a core team is meeting to pray and plan for the new church.
