I’ve really never liked church all that much…

Ok, I know a lot of people don’t like church – a but I’m a church leader! So, as a church leader, one of my hopes has been to build a church for people who don’t like church. For me, church should be a place where one can encounter God and build friendships with other people different from you. It should be a place where you worship with people from a variety of cultures and backgrounds, not just your own. It should be a place where you can expect to find God’s loving guidance for your life. That is why I enjoy being part of City Temple.

City Temple is an international church in the heart of London, bringing together people from many different cultural backgrounds. We believe the Bible is God’s Word to us, reliable and true. We have faith that Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead so that we might have real life. For us, the Holy Spirit is still active in the world and in our lives, helping us to become people that please God and continue Jesus’ ministry today.

We welcome you to come as you are. You don’t have to be a Bible scholar. You don’t have to clean up your life first. You don’t have to be wealthy, poor, middle-class, English, or anything else. You just need to come, expecting to meet God and others who are learning to follow Jesus Christ.
