Our Vision

Our Mission Statement:   The LCM exists to share with the people of  London, patiently, sensitively and individually the transforming love of God in Jesus Christ, and to enable them to join his Church.

Our Core Values: The Christian faith as defined in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, as held by the historic Christian Church, and as summarised in the Mission’s Statement of Faith (see below). The duty of Christian evangelism, taking the good news of  Jesus Christ to all, without regard to any distinctions of social status, gender, ethnicity, attitude or lifestyle. The embodiment of the Christian message in compassionate and caring activity, as well as in relevant words, reflecting the ministry of Jesus Christ in word and deed, seeking true peace and justice for the city and its people. The development of individuals and communities in a life of holiness, defined by the teachings of the Bible and reflecting the purity and attractive righteousness of God Himself. The unique role of  the Church in the plan of God, and the duty of the Mission to support and serve the Church in its task of evangelism and in its growth. The maintenance of the highest standards of Christian integrity and pastoral care in all its activities, including its compliance with all relevant legislation, its treatment of its own staff, its stewardship of all its resources, and its involvement with the community.

Extract from the LCM Constitution of 1835:   "As the object of the Mission is to extend the knowledge of the Gospel, it is a  fundamental law that the following doctrines be prominently taught by the Agents and publications of the Mission.  They are given"not in the words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches".     "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God."   "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was      God.  And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us."   "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."   "The blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, cleanses us from all sin."    "Being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."   "Neither is there salvation in any other;  for there is no other name under heaven     given among men, whereby we must be saved."   "Without holiness no man shall see the Lord."   "You are sanctified ... by the Spirit of God."
