Vision & Mission

London has been shaped by Christianity since at least the 4th Century. Throughout the medieval period, London was a monumental presence of Christian theology, culture, and architecture. At the turn of the 18th Century, it was at the forefront of global missions.

Today, London typifies much of Post-Christian Europe, with Christianity sharply declining and secularism and Islam on the rise. As a global gateway city - diffuse, distinct, and diasporic - London is now a significant mission field in its own right. The opportunities for gospel witness are endless.

In this swirl of diverse people, disenchanted Christians, and disempowered immigrants, we feel especially called to the Turkish people concentrated in North London. The Turkish people have a strong national identity and rich Islamic tradition, but very few have ever heard the gospel.

Our vision is to see Turkish disciples of Jesus created, encouraged, and equipped in London and beyond.

Mission

Our mission is to draw our Turkish friends and neighbors into the love and hope of Jesus. In partnership with Hope Filled Horizons, as well as Together for Mission and London City Mission, we work alongside local churches and mission leaders to develop, strengthen, and enact holistic gospel presence, witness, and discipleship.
