Seeking a gospel return
ABOUT US
The London Good Stewards Trust (LGST) was setup by a network of Conservative Evangelical churches in London as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and registered with the Charity Commission in 2019.
Its purpose is to support Anglican churches in the Dioceses of London and Southwark to steward their money well.
LGST enables churches to financially support gospel ministry projects that have been approved for funding by the LGST Trustees in line with their charitable objectives. LGST also makes it possible to promote and display unity between like-minded churches by enabling them to make donations to LGST to be pooled and paid together to either the Diocese of London or the Diocese of Southwark.
Additionally,
The Trust takes the Church of England (Worship and Doctrine) Measure 1974 as our basis of faith. In addition, we subscribe to the CEEC Statement of Faith.
Background
People who give money in our churches give sacrificially. Students, older people, people with young families. They need people in church leadership who use their money wisely. LGST is a registered charity set up in 2019 by ReNew London churches to support Anglican churches in London to do just that. LGST expanded its articles in 2024 to incorporate the geographic footprint of the Diocese of Southwark.
Connect with us
We exist to serve Anglican churches in London that subscribe to the Church of England (Worship and Doctrine) Measure 1974. There is much that our churches can do on their own but more we can do together.
Contact us if you are interested in finding out more, in praying for us, or in talking about how we can work with your church.
Beliefs
We want churches to see a return on their investment, but not in pounds and pence. We want a gospel return of people across London coming to know the rescue and rule that Jesus brings. It's the most wonderful news in the world; as relevant as it's ever been. We take the Church of England (Worship and Doctrine) Measure 1974 as our basis of faith. Read our constitutionSafeguarding
As a UK registered charity, all churches that work with us must have a clear safeguarding policy.
