NEW CHURCH PLANT

CHRIST CHURCH SAFFRON WALDEN

“Saffron Walden is a fast growing community in Essex with deep spiritual need. We plan to launch an evangelical church with expository preaching in early 2026. We already have a committed launch team of 14 adults. Please would you pray, give & spread the word!”

WHERE

Saffron Walden is a market town of 17,000 people situated between Cambridge and London. It was recently named the best place to live in the UK by The Sunday Times.

LEAD PASTOR

Tim Chapman spent 6 years as a soldier before training for ministry. After serving as Assistant Minister at All Saints Little Shelford, Tim was sent out in 2006 to plant Christ Church South Cambs. Tim is married to Lucy who also serves on staff at CCSC. They have 3 adult children. Tim is stepping down from leading CCSC in December 2025 to help launch Christ Church Saffron Walden.

LAUNCH TEAM

We have a committed united team of 14 adults with a heart to see the gospel take root in Saffron Walden. We are praying for 5 more households to join us before we launch in January 2026.

THE WATERFRONT PROJECT

“Thank you so much to everyone who’s prayed and given to make the Waterfront Project become a reality! We’ve begun using the building to open our new coffee shop, Waterfront Coffee, and are preparing for using the space for our Sunday services. We can’t wait to see how God will use it to reach people across Chelmsford with the good news of Jesus. We are still fundraising for this project, so if you’d like to support us please use the link below.”
