We believe that the gospel needs to be accessible to people!
In a country where the church for the majority is not even on the radar we seek to put the gospel within easy reach.
Leeds City Mission exists to assist the churches of Leeds in front line ministry. We do this in a wide range of areas:
Police Cell Ministry Do you know what it is like to be picked up by the police and be locked away until the courts open on Monday? In this moment of need LCM provides a service where we meet people and talk to them and give them a change to consider their lives. Prison Ministry We serve in Armley Prison, demonstrating practical concern for the many men who have found themselves there. We also work alongside the chaplaincy. |

Market Ministry We operate a book store in Leeds Kirkgate Market 'Leeds City Books'. We sell new and nearly new Christian books as well as a range of secular literature. We have built many long standing friendships through this ministry and we value having the permanent presence in the City Center.. See the Leeds City Bookshop page for further information. |
Visitation We cover homes in a given area, visiting people door to door, sharing the gospel with them, offering Christian literature, prayer and information on local churches. In recent years we have extensively covered the area of Middleton in South Leeds and Chapeltown in North Leeds. | | Personal Evangelism We go on to the streets of Leeds City Centre, or other nearby populated areas and share the gospel with people one on one, offering prayer and Christian Literature. |
As a foundation to the work of Mission to the City, we aim toseek God's face in unity with other believers from across the Body of Christ in Leeds.
Street Church We have a 'Street Church' table on Wednesday afternoons from 1:30 - 3:30pm on the Briggate in the middle of Leeds City Centre. It is quite literally taking Church to the Street. We meet people from all the nations, and distribute a lot of Christian literature and DVDs. We play music and we also preach Open Air and perform dramas / sketches.
