London Network Church is multi-cultural and inter-generational; reflecting the diverse population of London. We have two congregations in West London & South London. Our vision is 'building a kingdom family that reaches generations'.
We want to bring the differences in age and background together in Christ, building King Jesus family and reaching the diverse population of London. We do this through family groups that we call life groups. These meet in different parts of West and South London and do life together with Christ in the centre. We believe He is the hope of the world and can change individual lives and communities. In our lifegroups, we do two things - build up and reach out. We are both family based and outreach based.
SUNDAY SERVICES
REGULAR SERVICE
We meet as a church family every Sunday at 10:30am. During our time together we share testimonies, news, announcements, listen to inspiring preaching, worship together, have a chance to receive prayer ministry and respond to God. We share refreshments after the service. We regularly break bread (share communion).
JOINT CELEBRATION SERVICE
This normally happens once every two months and is a chance for the West and South London congregations to get together, share testimonies and celebrate what God has been doing. Sometimes we also welcome newcomers, baptise new believers and revisit our vision, values and mission as a church family.
CREATIVE SERVICE
LIVE STREAMING SERVICE
A few times a year we have our family-friendly, fun-filled creative services, catered to all ages. The whole church family is encouraged to participate in a range of creative worship, games, drama, poetry, rap, art, dance and more! Examples include Father’s day, Mother’s Day, Intergenerational Sundays, Youth led services and International days, etc. Come along for a fun-time with the whole family.
We also connect online with a wider community via livestream on our London Network Church Facebook Page from 10:30am every Sunday.

THE THEME FOR THE YEAR
THEME 2026 - WALKING WORTHY
Introduction:
In this world of confusion where good is called evil and evil is called good; I believe God is speaking to us as a church to walk worthy of His calling in 2026.
In Ephesians 4:1 Paul speaks of being a prisoner for the Lord. He said this in the context of being in a physical prison because of his commitment to preaching the gospel that “Jesus is Lord” in the Roman empire which proclaimed, “Caesar is Lord”. In the same way we need to be so committed to Jesus that even if it means standing against the flow of political correctness and popularity, we choose to share that “Jesus is Lord and Saviour”.
There are three ways we can walk worthy of Jesus in 2026 that Paul brings out in Ephesians 4:
1) Being Jesus Centred (Ephesians 4: 1 – 6):
This year I believe we will need to live as Jesus lived in radical obedience to God. This will stand in contrast to the compromise of the world.
Paul says our unity depends on being in intimate relationship with Jesus. There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and father of us all (Eph. 4:4-5). If we want true unity, it is only as we relate to Jesus that we can be united to each other. We cannot be united in compromise. There is no true unity without Christ. He died for us and broke down the walls of division between us and the Father and between each other so we can be one (Eph. 2:14-18). The only way that we can access true peace is by following the teachings of the “Prince of Peace” and by having His peace in our hearts through the Holy Spirit (Isaiah 9:6). We are called to maintain the unity of the Spirit through Jesus, who is the bond of peace (Eph. 4:3).

Practically to do this in 2026 we will need to take time in prayer to participate with Jesus by His Spirit. Do you run from personal prayer and prayer meetings, or do you make time available to pray? Martin Luther has been reported as saying, "I am so busy now, that I cannot afford not to spend three hours a day in prayer."
“And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God to observe and to do all His commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth2 and all these blessings shall come on thee and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God” (Deuteronomy 8: 1- 2). There is something powerful about aligning with the voice of Yahweh that sets our hearts and minds in the right place with God and causes us to obey Him resulting in being in His flow of blessing.
