iconWorking in Central London

Jesus said to his disciples 'What I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops' (Matthew 10:27 ESVUK). Christians believe that Jesus’ message is so good and so important that it should be proclaimed publicly far and wide, and therefore, living and speaking for Jesus is an overarching priority for Christians in the workplace.

Gospel at Work

Across Central London, Gospel at Work run public lunchtime talks, small groups, prayer meetings and one to one explorations of the Bible, both to support Christians and those wanting to find out more about Jesus. Find your nearest talk and connect with others near your workplace.

Lunchtime talks at St Helen's

Our lunchtime talks are designed to be accessible to all—whether you are looking into Christianity or are a committed Christian. Many Christian City workers find it a good way of standing publicly for the gospel and an easy way to invite colleagues to hear about Jesus.

  • Tuesday: 1.10–1.40pm in person and via livestream (handout available)
  • Thursday: 12.15–12.50pm in person

If you work more than a 10-minute walk from St Helen's you may find there is a lunchtime talk nearer to you. Visit Gospel at Work for more information.
