LICC

Who we are

We’re catalysing a movement that inspires people to live as disciples of Jesus – whatever they do, whoever and wherever they are.

If every Christian was equipped to live their whole life as Jesus would, it would change the world – one place, task, and person at a time.

The London Institute for Contemporary Christianity exists to help every Christian in the UK discover three simple truths:

• Wherever we are, we can join in with what God is doing – whether he’s placed us in an office, a builders’ yard, a school, a sports club, or anywhere else.
• The tasks we do matter deeply to God – from writing reports to fixing lights, caring for parents to driving buses, who we are and what we do has God-given purpose.
• We can be fruitful in all kinds of ways – by modelling godly character, making good work, ministering grace and love, moulding culture, and being a mouthpiece for truth and justice and a messenger of the gospel.

Living like this is central to being what we call a ‘whole-life disciple’. It means growing more like Jesus and learning to bring God’s wisdom, grace, and truth into our whole lives and every single thing we do.

We’re here to help as many Christians as possible embrace whole-life discipleship – for the glory of God and the good of the world.

Our culture and values

All of life matters to God – not just the ‘holy’ parts.

Too often, we can feel like God only cares about the ‘sacred’ things in our lives – church, charity work, evangelism – and that our ‘secular’ jobs, hobbies, and downtime are irrelevant to our faith.

But the truth is so much better than that. There is no sacred-secular divide. The gospel is good news for every person and every part of life. God is working to make Earth more like heaven through his people scattered in the world: through every employee encouraged, every anxiety shared, every leaky pipe fixed.

If we want to see our communities, organisations, and world transformed, we need to help every Christian get the full wonder of the gospel – and join in with what God is doing where they are. Because what we do Monday to Saturday is every bit as much a part of God’s mission as what we do on Sunday.

‘Whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus.’
(Colossians 3:17)
