A note from our Lead Pastor
‘The Kingdom of God is always advancing’. We love this truth at Lighthouse London, and I love to see this spiritual reality in the life of our church family. 2024 was a year of renewed momentum and for Sue and me a very different autumn; taking a sabbatical – part holiday rest, and part taking Spirit Life Foundations on the road!
To name some highlights:
-
Sundays saw awakened passion in our church worship life
-
Mid-week Light Groups growing
-
Spirit Life Central - 40 plus came together to participate in Spirit Life Foundations – with the first viewing of the new digital film resource
-
Deeply Rooted – autumn Wednesdays - pressing into the presence of the Living God, with powerful times of encounter
-
Global Awakening associate speakers – Mike Van’T Hull, Kim Maas, Rodney Hogue - amazing times; the women’s evening with Kim brought 150 plus women for a message of life and prayer ministry running on until 10.30pm!
-
90 plus go on HTB Focus retreat/holiday together – times of sharing and enjoying being Lighthouse among many sister churches
-
Way of Spirit Life Website launched in October - sharing the programme in the USA – visiting our dear Global friends the Martini’s, and speaking at their New Life City Church in Albuquerque, in Montreal at St Jacque’s with our first curate Graham Singh, Celine and their family, and precious ministry with Pastor Anthony and Tanya Langston at Tapestry Church, Jersey City.
-
Camden Spear continued to bring new hope and equipping for working life to dozens of young people – a heartfelt thanks to Anna Bowker as she stepped down after 5 amazing years on the team and the last 3 years leading the centre - Praise the Lord!
2025 is powerfully underway. A word from the Lord as we began was, these are ‘uncertain, certain’ times, and we are seeing this on the ground politically. But Jesus stays constant, our One Saviour with his sure and certain hope - and we thank him for stirring so many to seek his goodness in this time - as we write we are preparing to launch a second Sunday gathering.
Love and Blessings, Andy and Sue

Gathering Worship 2024 was a wonderful year for the Lighthouse worship team with lots to celebrate and reflect on. We started out as we meant to go on with a series of one-off worship nights with friends such as Chapel Co coming in to lead us. One of these worship nights was held on Good Friday and the reverence of God was so ° clearly felt in the room as we worshipped the lamb who takes away the sin of the world.
The Autumn months provided a beautiful time for the church to get deeper in their faith as we introduced ‘Deeply Rooted’. This wasn’t just a sermon series but a pattern of life for the church as we committed to times of fasting, prayer walking in our communities and weekly gatherings to worship and cry out to God. These were beautiful moments of centring ourselves around Jesus in the middle of our weeks and collectively building a house where He is exalted and loves to dwell.
It was business as usual around the Christmas period (except for the addition of Krispy Kreme donuts) as the team once again enjoyed a full season of joy, expectancy and wonder! The Carol Service was a particular highlight as we played our reimagined versions of all the classics to a heaving and joyous congregation.
The team have been seemingly inundated with new recruits this year including a BBC Symphony Orchestra violinist, a recording artist/producer, a Royal Academy of Music recruit and lots more, all to complement the returning familiar faces. As ever, if musical worship is a passion of yours, please don’t hesitate to contact Murray or Alex to get involved!

Belonging and Discipleship
Lighthouse Kids (Ages 4-10)
We are thriving; the average weekly attendance doubled in 2024! Trish, our Sozo Pastor, had a word for the Kids’ ministry that it would be a year of presence, prayer and purpose, with fresh ideas, kingdom values and hearts of worship from all ages.
We’ve been learning about the life of Jesus, the Holy Spirit, compassion, respect, significance and faith by learning from the bible characters: Ruth, Joseph and David. We re-started live worship which we’ll continue to develop. We took 10 kids to Focus, they enjoyed the Pyjama party, making new friends, the worship, crafts and inflatables!
Our Light Party, in its 4th year, continued to bring light and hope, attracting many families from the local area. We had games, crafts, a bouncy castle and silent disco! Everyone heard a simple message about how Jesus is always with them.
As we approached Christmas, we shared a Thanksgiving family lunch and supported Operation Christmas Child by filling 7 shoe boxes!
Throughout Advent, the children enjoyed practising their readings and dances for the nativity play. The angels dazzled; the shepherds rocked! Everyone gave a fantastic performance!
The Creche café continued to have a live stream for parents to watch the service. Lighthouse Little Ones, our weekly baby group began two years ago, continues to grow with the vision to build relationships with the community.
5
Lighthouse Youth (Ages 11-18)
We give thanks to God for a year full of fun, finding friends & growing in faith for Lighthouse Youth. In addition to our Sunday ‘studio’ sessions in the upper room, 2024 highlights include: Wednesday hotdog hangouts in summer & autumn with some special guests from YWAM and other ministries, Friday evenings at Youth East; where we gather with lots of other youth groups for epic games, youth-led worship, message and ministry.
It was precious to have time away together at both Tracks Camp during the Easter break and Focus Youth over Summer, giving lots of opportunity for our youth to encounter the living God. We loved worshipping our socks off (or more accurately our shoes!) at The Send in Wembley Arena, which was a powerful time of unity and commissioning for this incredible rising generation of Believers.
Many of our Youth continue to be amazing team members across Lighthouse - serving in Worship, AV and Kids Teams – also helping at some of our biggest events like the Trust Fundraiser & Light Party! We truly celebrate all of who they are in the Lighthouse family!
Torch
For Spear trainees on their ‘Year of Support’ and beyond, Torch provides a space to continue to grow friendships, confidence and share more about what this life has to offer outside of work. In 2024 we gathered fortnightly, often cooking together, playing games and having quality conversations; sharing our ‘Highs and Lows’, encouraging one another, often sharing a testimony or prayer need.
Some particularly special times were a day out boating together and summer BBQ at Bethnal Green Spear Centre, also joined by Spear Islington. It’s great to see more Torch young people enjoying getting involved in other activities across Lighthouse like Spirit Life, the summer picnic and Black History celebration service.
6
Light Groups
While we still need more leaders to start additional groups, our existing Light groups are thriving and some even ready to split to accommodate more people. Drew and Suzanna launched a new Light group in 2024, Murray and Beth took over leading a vibrant Light group of young adults which has grown lots under their leadership.
We’re also exploring new opportunities, such as a football group and creating more spaces for men's and women's gatherings. Our goal is always to provide ways for people to connect and build meaningful lifelong friendships while also journeying together in deepening a rich faith.
Team
We couldn’t do ministry without our incredible group of volunteers. We are so blessed to have a committed team of people who generously give their time throughout the year in various roles — from the welcome team to worship, ministry, kids’ work, creative decorators, the Lighthouse trustees and many more!
So many of you serve in a sacrificial and wholehearted way, and as a church, we are truly grateful. Whether it’s helping with set-up and take-down or supporting special events & services, your willingness to pitch in makes a huge difference.
One of the most memorable moments in 2024 was our Black History Month service that was packed-out, where so many of you brought food and desserts. It was a joy-filled service with a beautiful celebration of multicultural cuisine, and your help in creating and clearing up after such a joyful gathering didn’t go unnoticed. Thank you all for your dedication and generosity!

Way of Spirit Life
2024 saw the completion of Stages 1 and 2 of the SLF programme on our WOSL website, with thanks to the team for their help with graphics and editing. 70 people signed up for Spirit Life Central in the church, starting in April, and we had encouraging feedback from both new and mature believers.
The smaller A5 Stage 1 & 2, Stage 3 and Stage 4 & 5 workbooks were published alongside the larger A4 full manual, and will be a useful resource for churches using the series for their small groups. Sign ups to the programme via the website have been encouraging, and we look forward to seeing the programme being accessed worldwide in the future.

Healing & Prayer
Tuesday Gold
Our morning Tuesday Gold prayer continued online during 2024, with a steady group of committed folk praying for our Lighthouse London family along with our neighbourhood, our city and nation and the world. We prayed for healing for those in need of a touch from the Lord, and were grateful for positive testimonies received.
From 2025 we will meet both online and in person at the church at 8am on Tuesdays, and hope to have more happy intercessors with a heart for prayer join.
Bethel Sozo
2024 saw the team host 59 Sozo sessions with people coming from a number of churches across London and further afield. We have a small team, and are grateful for the time they give to this ministry.
Iyanu Taiwo, one of our Sozo first chairs, moved out of London at the end of the year, and will be very much missed. We hosted an online Sozo training in September, both as a refresher for the team and for those who wanted to explore being part of the ministry, and are delighted to have a new team member on board as a result.
We look forward to the continued growth of Bethel Sozo at Lighthouse London.

Partnering
Spiritual Partners
Lighthouse London have a number of precious spiritual partnerships. As an HTB network church we gather, share and support each other through the year - plus the annual Focus holiday event.
Global Awakening brings spiritual friendships across the globe with Spiritfilled equippers and leaders plus mission opportunities. Lapis Lazuli - founded by members of Lighthouse to advance Kingdom life in Nigeria - continues to be a close partner.
Holy Trinity Primary School
The school received an Outstanding OFSTED report in all areas of the inspection framework - an immense achievement! Every week we’ve support the school’s spiritual growth by delivering lively and engaging assemblies to over 120 students, ranging between 4- 11 years old.
The Headteacher and Jemima organised many services together for: Easter, Y6 Leaver’s, Harvest, and several Christmas nativities and a carol service, where parents attended.
This year the school will celebrate its 150th Birthday!
Lighthouse London Community Trust
The Mission of Lighthouse London Community Trust is to enable Lighthouse London to live out its Christian faith, consistent with the mission of the Church of England through practical support of the surrounding community for public benefit.

Spear Camden
In 2024: We supported 70 young people in 2024 across 6 programmes. We’ve engaged with multiple companies over the year, when visiting them as part of the programme, including – TJX, McDonalds, EQ Investors. Here are some more quotes from young people who have completed the programme:
“If I hadn't been challenged by my Spear Coaches, to be more expressive, I don't feel like I would have gotten that opportunity. I'm thankful to them for challenging me and helping me.”
“Before Spear I was very very shy. Very scared of everything. I would leave my house, and people would try to speak to me, and I would be so scared. But Spear has helped me, by forcing me out of my comfort zone… Now I've made so many new friends and so many people I'm proud to call my team.”
XLP
XLP continue to support some of the most vulnerable young people across Camden borough with Youth Worker Rosie Conroy and her team of volunteers working in schools, pupil referral units and in the community to deliver all kinds of projects, youth clubs, group and one to one sessions and residential camps. Mid 2024 was a significant marker for XLP North Mentoring with Mentoring Manager, Roberta Fontaine concluding 3 years of pioneering the programme here - which in total saw an amazing 54 young people supported through year-long mentoring relationships.
One young person said “It’s like have the best parts of a friend your age and the best parts of an adult in your life!” and another commented “It’s made me feel like things are possible.”
A number of young people who were not engaged in school were able to reintegrate, 80% of participants staying in education. We give thanks for all these young lives, and the dedicated workers and volunteers devoted to seeing transformation in our community one child, one family at a time.
11
Our vision is to be God’s light to the city and the nations.
Being led by the Spirit of God, our calling is to be a beacon of light for NW London and beyond; revealing the full gospel of Jesus' love and power to heal and transform.

Stat&m8nl of funds (contlnuedl Responding to the local need, the church continued to maintain the designated hardship fund, Income for this fund is via d&signaled gifts from th& church congregation and it is to be us6d to support specific needs mainly family emergencies. Funds will be disseminated at the request of senior clergy. In 2024 no further designated funds were received. Funds continuted to be spenl as desigated in 2024. The funds will remain designed for use in 2025. The funds of the PCC include restricted funds comprisino the balances of donations and grants to be applied for specific purposes, as follows.. Lighthouse Project The Lighthouse Project was planned to be a development of a new landmark six-storey Christian centre on the existing sile of HTSC. During 2022, du8 to the significant increase in cost of the proposed project the PCC concluded that it was not going to be viable given the funding g8p. Instead, a sm811er project is planned which will either be an extensive refurbishment cf the existing building with an extension or a much sma118r new build. The vi810n for the revised projecl remains th8 sam8, jusl on a small8r scale. Donors are continuting to be consulted on the updated proposals and the church is transitioning from the original Lighthouse Project (Lighthouse 1,01 lo the revised project (Lighthouse 2.01. Way of Spirit Life In 2024 School of Spirit Life was rebranded as Way of Sprit Llfe and funds specifically to support the promotion and d8V81opment of th8 Way of Spirit Life course were r@ceiv8d creating a new restrict8d fund. SOSL Filming During 2022 a project began lo film content for the School of Spirt Life course to enable it to be delivered by small groups and other church8s in addition to the cUrnt liv8 delivery. Funding was received specifically for this projecl and is therefore restricted. Filming was completed in 2023, therefore there is no carryforward as all funds have been spent. 18.
