The Co-Mission Podcast

This is the Co-Mission summer series covering the talks and seminars from REVIVE, our annual festival. This is the first of three talks by our guest speaker, Denesh Divyanathan, pastor at The Crossing Church in Singapore. His talks cover Romans 3-4, and this first one is a deep one, reflecting on the fact that the gospel is truly for everyone, because, believer or not, we are all broken sinners in need of a Saviour and His gospel.

Co-Mission exists to plant churches to reach London for Christ.

We're passionate about church planting in London because we are convinced it's one of the most effective ways to reach new areas of the city, bringing the gospel to people from every nation, tribe, and tongue in those areas.

This is the start to our Summer Series covering the talks and seminars from REVIVE 2025. We are so grateful to so many who helped make REVIVE possible, all for the glory of our Saviour. 

This first talk is from Andy Mason, Mission Director of Co-Mission and Pastor at St. John's Chelsea, on the "Co-Mission Convictions," all about the importance of, and our heart for reaching the needy people of this city with the gospel.

In this episode of the Co-Mission Podcast, we interview Jonny Burgess about a new church plant in Hackbridge. Jonny, currently a pastor at ChristChurch Balham, shares his journey from growing up in Sussex, coming to faith, and serving in The Gambia, to preparing for church planting in South London. We cover the unique challenges and joys of starting a new church, the importance of team building, prayer, and support from the wider church network.

Jonny discusses spiritual attack, personal struggles, and the value of humility and vulnerability in ministry. The episode also highlights practical steps in church planting, community outreach, and the significance of relying on God’s plan.

The Co-Mission Podcast is all about the church planting efforts of many faithful people in the Co-Mission network of churches in London. We see to honour the Lord Jesus in all we do and we're passionate about reaching the lost by, along with others, planting churches into unreached areas of the city.

We were grateful to all who were involved in serving, teaching, or being part of our excellent panel discussion. Our guest speaker was Kev Murdoch.
