THE LONDON INSTITUTE FOR CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIANITY

The London Institute for Contemporary Christianity (LICC) says on its website: “What you do matters to God. We’re here to inspire you to live as a disciple of Jesus, wherever you are and whatever you do.”
LICC has dedicated over 40 years to helping Christians connect their Sunday worship with their daily lives.
Inspired by the teachings of John Stott, LICC holds a fundamental belief that resonates deeply: there’s no divide between the sacred and the secular. Every Christian is called to embody their faith as a disciple of Jesus, no matter where they find themselves – be it at work, home, school, or in the community.
LICC endeavours to make theology applicable to everyday life. Through a variety of resources like articles, books, podcasts, online courses, and training for churches, they aim to empower believers to view their daily routines as opportunities for mission and discipleship, rather than just waiting for chances to engage within church activities. Their focus on “whole-life discipleship” is a refreshing reminder that the Christian journey extends far beyond Sunday services.
One of the standout features of LICC is how accessible their resources are. They are rich in Biblical content yet not overly academic, making them suitable for both church leaders and everyday Christians. For churches aiming to foster a culture of discipleship that reaches beyond the walls of the church, LICC provides lots of practical guidance.
While those in search of deep Biblical commentary might need to look elsewhere for additional resources, LICC intentionally carves out a unique space by helping Christians link Biblical truths to their everyday experiences. It’s an exceptional resource that I wholeheartedly recommend to church leaders, small groups, and anyone eager to follow Christ more faithfully in the everyday situations where God has placed them.
