Steve Taylor

Steve arrived in London in 2000, equipped with a background in pastoral ministry, cross-cultural international student work, and five years of teaching English in China. This diverse experience laid a solid foundation for his two-decade journey with LCM in London. Driven by a passion for mission, Steve's heart beats to mirror the eternal, unwavering love of God.

"I count it a privilege to serve in a multicultural urban city like London with colleagues who have shared and modelled for me a diligent but 'less showy or glamorous' ministry," says Steve.

In his ministry, Steve has walked alongside those often overlooked—the homeless guests at Webber Street Day Centre, patients battling for life in King’s College hospital wards, and seniors facing isolation in Southwark's residential homes, especially during the challenging times of pandemic restrictions.

As part of the LCM Southwark team, Steve focuses on nurturing relationships and supporting churches across the borough, with a particular emphasis on the growing senior population. Steve is committed to demonstrating Christ's love to society's forgotten, neglected, and marginalised members.

Recently, churches in Peckham joined forces to aid asylum seekers and refugees, an initiative in which Steve has played a vital role, using his TEFL skills to build connections and share the hope of Christ.

One of Steve's memorable encounters is with Bert, a recovering alcoholic touched by the story of the widow's mite during a Bible study. He was overwhelmed to realise that everyone is known and loved by Jesus.

Steve lives in Brockley with his wife, Bi Chun Hui “Beth”, and they recently welcomed their first grandchild, Joanna, a joyous addition to their family.
