Louder Than The Music

City Gates Church in Ilford has released a ground breaking worship album called 'Rebuild'. Worship leader Joseph Perry and international worship leader Noel Robinson have brought together other Church members to record the album.

The album includes the lead single 'Heart's on fire' featuring Pete Chesman, Joseph Perry and Integrity Music recording artist Noel Robinson.

"The title of this new album has a particular significance for City Gates Church in that it relates to our journey following the catastrophic collapse of the church building in 2012. The over riding theme of this album is Christ at the centre." says Pastor Derbyshire.

He goes on to explain, "The album is an expression of not only worship at City Gates Church, but also of our values, purpose and message. My hope is that this album will inspire and help you be more effective in building the Church".

If you google City Gates Church in Ilford the main stories that you will find are related to the collapse of the multi-million pound state-of-the-art building in 2012. Since then the Church has continued to reshape the narrative. In February of 2016 Senior Pastor Stephen Derbyshire released his second book titled Out of the Ruins. The book details his personal journey and the Church’s resilience over the past few years.
