What Christ Church Mayfair does

Christ Church Mayfair (CCM) is a Church of England parish church and registered charitable company (Charity Commission number 1152061) located on Down Street in Mayfair, Central London, within walking distance of Green Park and Hyde Park Corner tube stations. The church was planted in January 2001 as part of the Co-Mission church planting network and operates under the ecclesiastical oversight of the Diocese of London. As of February 2026, the church celebrated its 25th anniversary, with Senior Minister Matt Fuller having served continuously since the original planting. CCM delivers a portfolio of worship services and ministries for residents, workers, students, and young professionals in the W1 postal district.

The church's offering comprises two weekly Sunday services (10:30am morning with Sunday School and 6:00pm evening), the Midweek in Mayfair Wednesday lunchtime gathering for working professionals, and a layered small-group ecosystem meeting both in the church building and in homes around London. Age-specific programming spans Little Lambs (preschoolers), Pathfinders and Logos youth groups with Ignite Fridays for secondary school students, dedicated student ministry, women's ministry, music ministry, and children's ministry during services. The technical stack supporting operations is conventional and SaaS-based: ChurchSuite for member database and communication, YouTube for live-streaming and sermon archiving, Google Analytics for website usage measurement, and CAF Bank for donation processing including Gift Aid claims under UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 compliance.

Christ Church Mayfair funds its operations entirely through voluntary tithes, offerings, and Gift Aid reimbursements claimed on eligible UK taxpayer donations; no fees are charged for any service or ministry. The church employs 11 staff members across ministerial, operational, and production functions. Distribution is dual-channel: in-person at the Down Street premises for the local Central London community, and globally via online streaming for an extended audience. The organization is governed by a Parochial Church Council with no parent company, holding entity, or external investor involvement.
