So who are we?

This church plant is some of the fruit of a vision that goes back 30 years.  East Midlands Christian Fellowships (EMCF) has long been committed to seeing the Kingdom of God come across the East Midlands and church planting is at the heart of the vision.  Today EMCF is made up of 5 congregations with an apostolic base in Derby called Community Church Derby.  It is from here that CityChurch Leicester is being planted.  EMCF is also part of a national movement of churches called Salt and Light Ministries.  You can find out more about all these groups via the links opposite.

The vision to plant into Leicester has been growing in the hearts of the EMCF leaders for 18 months now and Ben and Esther Rook, who are part of the leadership and staff of EMCF are heading up a team that will move into the city to plant this church.  We are in faith that this plant will begin with a strong group of 50+ adults and their children from across EMCF and Salt and Light.

CityChurch Leicester will be launched officially in September 2011 but there are already a good number of people committing to this adventure.  We will begin to meet to pray and seek God for the future of the plant soon, watch this space and drop us a line if you would like to find out more!
