Theodore Austin-Sparks (1888-1971), a former Baptist and Congregational minister, set out with a small band of believers in 1926 to fulfill the ministry God gave him. He founded Honor Oak Christian Fellowship Center in a London neighborhood where all Christians, regardless of denominational affiliation, could come and receive spiritual food to strengthen their Christian life.

In this age, where the church is de-emphasized and where so much spirituality is shallow and outward, the ministry of T. Austin-Sparks is greatly needed to meet the present need of the body of Christ.
