All Souls Serve the City

All Souls Serve the City (ASSTC) is a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO), based at All Souls Church bringing together a breadth of ministries serving those who are vulnerable. Our vision is to see all in London flourish in body and soul. We do this by offering the message and ministry of Jesus, focusing on those who are isolated, overlooked and exploited, due to their stage of life or their circumstances. Our ministries reach out from the All Souls parish, to Westminster and beyond. Each ministry is rooted in our values of love, honour and service. Loving the city and all who are in it, we love because He first loved us. Honouring and respecting all others as God’s image bearers, we seek to honour others above ourselves. We serve as Christ served us, joyfully and sacrificially.

Demonstrating our love for one another and for the city, we seek to bring gospel hope and biblical truth to four distinct groups: those who find themselves homeless, women involved in the sex industry (including those who are trafficked and exploited), school children, and seniors.
