East London Group Mission Statement 2019
Our Mission is to share the good news of God's love for all, especially in the east of London, through churches coming together.

Our Statement:

• We are called by God to become a loving, caring, welcoming community united by the love of God in Christ.
• We gather for worship, Bible study and prayer, to learn about God, to deepen our faith and to discover where God is leading us.
• We express the love of God by serving one another in the East London area, the local ecumenical communities, in the neighbourhoods and in the wider world.
• We are enthusiastic about our faith and trust in God's continuing guidance through the Power of the Holy Spirit and pray for the ability to discover the activity of Christ in the world.
• We are an inclusive, multicultural group of churches serving the needs of children, young people and adults; encouraging the use of talents and skills of different ages.
• We are active in working with adults, young people and children of different faiths in the communities.
