Newham

A third Urban Expression team started work in the London borough of Newham in 1998, with a particular concern to build relationships with people from the various South Asian communities. They are a group of followers of Jesus, made up of people from diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds experiencing and expressing the love of God in Christ desiring to be biblically obedient and culturally appropriate among the South Asians of East London.

This team is working in a sensitive area and it would not be wise for us to say too much about who they are or what they are doing on this website. For this reason the newsletters on this site do not contain sections on the work of this team.

However, if you are interested in learning more about this team and its work, please contact us, as they are happy to share with people about the work God is doing here in seeing men, women and children become faithful followers of Jesus and responsible members in his church.

From church plant to church

In November 2005 the decision was taken to recognise that the church here had been planted and should be encouraged to develop without any sense of dependence on Urban Expression. The remaining team members have become Urban Expression Associates.

The story remains on the website as a record of what has happened.
