The Gregory Centre for Church Multiplication (CCX)

The Gregory Centre for Church Multiplication/CCX is a leading centre for church multiplication in the UK. Led by the Bishop of Islington, the Rt Revd Ric Thorpe, we equip and resource the Church to reach new people, in new and renewed ways with the good news of Jesus Christ. We have experience of equipping churches, planters and pioneers to multiply. We're continually adding to our knowledge from practitioners so we can share best practice and training, underpinned by theological resources. Our resources equip leaders as they develop and lead growing churches. We offer learning, coaching and consultancy with some of the most experienced people in church growth, helping churches to connect with their tradition of growth and reframe this for a contemporary context. CCX is led by the Bishop of Islington, the Rt Revd Ric Thorpe. In 2015, Bishop Ric was consecrated as the Bishop of Islington in order to support the Diocese of London's goal of creating new worshipping communities across the capital. We're part of the Church of England but work with many denominations and networks.
