Commission is an international family of churches working together to make disciples, reach the nations and transform communities. Led by Guy Miller and his team, Commission has churches in the UK, India, Spain, Portugal and other nations.

Commission churches actively work together and support each other in seeing the Kingdom advance through:

Going to the nations and reaching the unreached
Starting new churches and caring for existing churches
Raising and training leaders
Social action and community development

Commission is part of the Newfrontiers global movement of churches which has grown over the last 30 years to over 800 churches across the world under the leadership of Terry Virgo. As Newfrontiers has grown, Terry has recognised that a number of leaders have emerged with a gift to lead, serve and oversee the churches within Newfrontiers. Now each of these pioneers their own network of churches (such as Commission), while still maintaining the core vision and values of Newfrontiers.

You can apply for either role by filling in the Application Form and emailing it to [email protected]

We will also make printed forms available on the Welcome Desk on a Sunday morning if you are unable to fill in the form online.

We look forward to hearing from you!

POSITION: INTERNSHIP SCHEME

We are looking for interns for 2019-20 to serve our church in a voluntary capacity. This is a unique opportunity to be a part of our core team, working to serve God and serve others in the heart of London.

Interns are involved in every area of church life on some level, being at the core of our staff team. Interns may also be particularly involved in some of (but not limited to) the following ministries:
– Mission
– Worship
– Creative Design
– Kids and Youth
– Justice/Mercy Ministry
– Leadership
– Administration and Church Management

Chapel’s internship scheme aims to:

Promote personal GROWTH:
– develop and build character strength
– build on each intern’s interests, skills and gifts
– help them identify their strengths and weaknesses
– help them grow in theological clarity, disciple-making abilities, leadership skills and relationship building

Help them know what’s next (VOCATION):
– gain perspective on a career path after internship
– gain hands-on experience of church work and ministry, plus practical skills

What does the Internship look like in practice?

TRAINING
During the year, you’ll be given the opportunity to study and be trained for a lifetime of usefulness in God’s kingdom. Training will be provided through Commission’s Impact scheme, which this year is being run through the excellent Foundations course.

INVESTING
We seek to invest in interns, through providing an environment in which they can thrive and grow in their gifts. We ask that interns invest mentally, spiritually and physically in the goings on at Chapel and our staff team for a year.

Previous interns have found the year challenging, yet faith-building and formative for whatever God calls them onto next.

The internship is voluntary and we encourage you to self-fund the majority of your time, but we are able to help with accommodation and travel costs, as well as a lunch allowance.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
Typically the internship works well for school-leavers or graduates, or those with a few years workplace experience – someone with a degree of independence/autonomy, and a willingness to work hard.

WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO KNOW?
Start date: September 2019
Duration: 9-11 months

We are also fundraising for a Building Project, which you can find more information about here.

Thank you for your support!

Founded in 1841, with Rev. Samuel Martin at the helm, the church began to make waves in the neighbourhood and has done so ever since, seeing many influential men of God in its now famous pulpit, including Dr George Campbell-Morgan, Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Dr R.T. Kendall, and Rev. Greg Haslam.

Our desire is to build on the foundation these men faithfully laid by completing the transition from powerful preaching centre to local Apostolic mission base (think Antioch or Ephesus in the book of Acts), under the leadership of Howard Satterthwaite and a team of elders, supported by the Commmission apostolic team, building a church in which the only big name is JESUS.

During the week, our small staff team are very busy running the ministries of the church and we cannot guarantee a tour to people who show up at the gate.

During the summer months especially we are inundated with Christians visiting from all over the world. If this is you, feel free to email us first at [email protected] to see if the building will be open when you intend to visit.

We’d love to meet you, but our main mission is to love and serve our community, so we cannot always be available for guided tours or history lessons (as much as we would love to!).

Thanks for your understanding!
