The House of Mercy Christian Assembly joined the FIEC in the Autumn.
The church was formed in 2015 and the leaders are two pastors from Cameroon. Their vision is to reach the French-speaking community in London and they meet in a community centre in the Docklands area of London. Self-consciously Pentecostal with lively worship, direct gospel preaching and a congregation that expects God to work through his Word and Spirit, they currently have 24 members, but are likely to outgrow their premises by the end of the year.
One of the great challenges facing British evangelicalism is the disconnect between predominantly white churches and the rapidly growing number of black majority churches that are such a vibrant feature of contemporary Christianity. While some churches may be influenced by the prosperity gospel, others are doctrinally orthodox and would have much in common with Bible-centred churches currently in fellowship together.
