Planting new churches to reach people with the good news of Jesus has always been part of the culture of the Anglican Mission in England (AMiE) and one that AMiE recognises will need to take different forms to suit a changing landscape across England.
One such church that AMiE is hoping to plant is in Bracknell with Nick Algeo, an ordained minister with a licence from the Diocesan Bishop of AMiE to start a church. Nick is moving with his family to Bracknell in the summer of 2025, and is looking to start Sunday services soon after. Over the next few months, he hopes to raise financial support and gather the beginnings of a group to start the church. A daunting prospect, but one that he trusts and prays that God will provide the resources for.
Bishop Lee McMunn, who has been walking alongside Nick and family throughout the process, said: ‘I praise God for the pioneering faith God has given Nick and Harriet. It has been a joy and a privilege to walk with them so far in prayer and planning. We trust the Lord has His people in Bracknell who will respond to the voice of Jesus, the Good Shepherd.’
