Chroma Church

What Chroma Church does

Chroma Church is a registered Christian charity (Charity No. 1123681) and company limited by guarantee (Company No. 6528317) operating a single physical location at 15 Putney Road West, Leicester, United Kingdom. Founded in 2007 by Steve and Juliet Barber as a church plant from Southend Vineyard and rebranded to Chroma Church at Easter 2017, the organization serves a multi-ethnic congregation from "many nations and walks of life" through three Sunday worship services (9:30am, 11:30am with YouTube livestream, 5:30pm) at a renovated warehouse on Freemen's Common acquired in 2014.

The organization delivers a vertically integrated ministry portfolio across multiple demographic segments: Chroma Kids (6 months-11 years), Chroma Youth (school years 7-13), Chroma Students (university-age), and adult worship services, supplemented by a Chroma Compassion sub-brand that runs a food bank, Safe Families for Children hosting, a CAP Debt Centre, The King's Table community dinners, the New Growth allotment program, and the Eden anti-slavery jewelry partnership. Supporting programs include the Chroma Discipleship track, Encounter Year long-form program (launching September 2026/2027), the New Life course for new believers, weekly Revival Prayer gatherings, the annual Leaders Gathering conference, the CHOSEN youth festival, and the Chroma Arts Summer Academy. The organization is supported by 22 paid staff including five Executive Pastors and runs active digital channels on YouTube, Instagram (with demographic-segmented accounts), Facebook, and Twitter/X, with event management handled through the ChurchSuite platform.

Chroma Church generates revenue entirely through voluntary donations: recurring tithes and offerings from congregation members (modeled as a 10% income tithe), one-time building fund donations under the "Build for Revival" capital campaign, non-cash food and toiletry donations for the food bank, and Gift Aid recovery for UK taxpayers. As a registered charity, it does not charge for services and does not publicly disclose financials. Strategic positioning is articulated as "Empowered Evangelical," combining orthodox Christian doctrine with present-day Holy Spirit ministry, under the motto "Bringing out the God-colours in the world."
