Mission Statement

Proclaim the biblical gospel in our preaching and by the way we live across our networks to reach London to reach the world. Grow and teach disciples who are equipped as women and men to teach the word of God and live all of their lives for Christ. Build a community of grace in the heart of London which is a safe place that welcomes all into a family of forgiven sinners. Impact our culture by listening to the world and bringing the wisdom of the Bible to all areas of human life and God’s creation. Love one another and our city by showing the love of God to all in practical ways, seeking justice and bringing gospel hope in all situations. Serve the wider church by listening and learning from others as we share people, skills, teaching and creativity.

About This Cause

All Souls is a conservative Anglican evangelical church with a large and diverse congregation. We seek to use our rich inheritance, our exciting location and our international membership to cooperate with God in the extension of His Kingdom. At the heart of our vision sits God’s Word. As a church the Bible is central to all we do from our Sunday services, to our life groups, to our workplace ministry, to our work with marginalised people. All Souls (pre-covid) welcomed a total of over 1,500 people to its morning and evening services each Sunday with a core membership of around 1,200. During the pandemic we have provided weekly online services and added 500 ‘friends’ of All Souls. The membership is made up of around 60 nationalities with about 40% of the church family being non-British. The age profile of our church family is fairly evenly spread: 28% are 18-29, 27% are 30-44, 30% are 45-64 and 16% are over 65. Around 250 children attend our children and youth work. The adult age profile tends to be slightly older at the morning services and younger in the evening. As a large church we have a broad range of ministry activities. The vast majority of these ministries are led by a dedicated member of the ministry team and are well supported in many different ways by the church family - in fact many could not run without their support. In simple terms our ministry breaks down into six core areas: services, evangelism, discipleship (adults and 0-18s), world mission, music and serving the city. All of these church-based ministry activities contribute towards the goal of motivating and equipping all church members to recognise and exercise their own diverse ministries, as they serve God in the outside world through the multiple callings of whole-life discipleship in everyday life and work. All of our ministry activity is underpinned by prayer, with (pre-covid) a fortnightly prayer gathering being the bedrock of our corporate prayer as a church, during covid this has moved to a monthly online meeting and weekday 8am prayer meetings. Over the past 18 months this has been supplemented by other regular days of prayer and fasting. It has been a huge encouragement to see the church family respond so positively to these.
