Do you have a passion for God's mission in London? Do you have a heart for those least likely to hear the gospel - and a gift for connecting with them? Could you come alongside local churches to engage, envision and equip them to reach more Londoners with the life-changing news of Jesus? At London City Mission, we estimate that one in two Londoners, that’s roughly 4.5 million people, are unlikely to hear the gospel in their lifetime.

At London City Mission, we are partnering with churches who have a growing passion for reaching out...
