ChristChurch London (also commonly known as ''ChristChurch''; and shorthand ''CCL''〔), founded 2004, is an evangelical Christian church located in the Mermaid Theatre, London, United Kingdom. It is part of the New Frontiers group of churches,〔http://newfrontierstogether.org/ChDatabase/Newfrontiers_UK_Churches_by_Town.pdf〕〔http://www.findachurch.co.uk/details/blackfriars/11440.htm〕 ChristChurch believes in salvation through faith in Jesus Christ alone, by the grace of God. They believe in the Trinity; Father, Son and Holy Spirit as one Godhead. They also believe in the baptism by full immersion. Baptism is a rite undertaken by new believers to publicly declare their Faith, representing the washing of sin and being made clean through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus' crucifixion. Baptism is also seen as a physical oath to God, which leads to Christians being born again to a new life in Christ through His resurrection. As Evangelical Christians, Christchurch has a large focus on sharing their Faith with non-Christians by building community through holding a large number of social events throughout the year, which allow people to invite friends into the church community. These include football, curry nights, picnics, live music nights and other outings.〔http://christchurchlondon.org/calendar/social/2012-09-01〕 ChristChurch is a multicultural community with attendees from over 19 different nations as of 2007. ==History== ChristChurch London was founded in October 2004 by David Stroud, who moved from Birmingham to start the church, and recruited Adrian Holloway and Rhys Scott to be part of the church-planting team. The church officially launched in 2005 at the New Connaught Rooms in Covent Garden and has since relocated a number of times as the church has grown. They now meet at the Mermaid Conference Centre in Blackfriars and have expanded to hold two meetings.〔http://christchurchlondon.org/aboutus〕 On 5 September 2009, ChristChurch London re-branded its logo and launched its first bimonthly publication ''"Broadcast Magazine"''. The 28 February 2010 saw the official launch of "ChristChurch London: On The City", a virtual social networking service created by Zondervan, aimed to enhance communication amongst the church community.
