About

Letchworth Garden City Church (LGCC, an Elim Pentecostal Church)

Story

LGCC is a lively, thriving and growing Elim Pentecostal church located in the world's first garden city and led by Pastor Carl Johnston.

Our vision is to be a church that connects and leads people into a growing relationship with Jesus because we believe this is where life begins – in relationship with Jesus. Wherever you are based, Letchworth or Uganda, school or your workplace you can live your life in such a way that you walk out this vision personally and together with all of LGCC.

Our mission is to be a church that connects with others, grows in our relationship with God, serves one another and influences our world. We understand that every individual, no matter how young or old has great potential and purpose. We want to see every person live that out in their personal faith journey and alongside others.

Each of our values are centred around Acts 2:42 – 47, which is a description of the early church and we believe is as true today, for us as it was then.

“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favour of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.”

IN OUR HOME...

…followers of Jesus should be fully devoted and dependent on the Holy Spirit.

…we are intentional about seeing people who are far from God come to faith in Jesus Christ.

…we value gathering together as the church family for personal growth and encouragement through Bible teaching, worship and prayer and, as such, prioritise attendance at our weekly services and mid-week Connect Groups.

…we believe all are welcome and desire to be a community who always loves, always forgives and always seeks reconciliation.

…we believe all have something to offer and aim to give everyone the opportunity to be involved, develop and grow their gifts to serve, taking their place within and beyond the church.

…we believe generous and sacrificial giving is a lifestyle worth cultivating and we encourage everyone to give freely and joyfully of their time, their talents and their finances.

…we believe we are called to seek the peace and prosperity of our community, our nation and the ends of the earth.
