Our Story.

For over 1000 years the church in Leatherhead has been proclaiming Jesus and gathering people to worship.

In 2022, the Bishop of Guildford invited HTB to begin a revitalisation project with LPC. In September 2022, Will and Sophie Perry, and Tom and Megan Hill with their families moved to Leatherhead to lead the Church.

Vision.

Our vision is simple: Love God . Love People . Make Disciples.

Love God - At LPC we are want to create a culture of whole life worship: Jesus centered, passionate in worship, shaped by scripture and led by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus said ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ Matthew 22:37

Love People - We love people with purpose. We long for everyone in Leatherhead to know they are loved by God and by us. We create opportunities for people to encounter Jesus and partner with organisations seeking to bless Leatherhead and beyond.

‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ Matthew 22:39

Make Disciples - We are passionate about raising a generation of Jesus disciples, who make disciples.

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20

Mission.

We're passionate about seeing lives transformed by Jesus. We seek to reach everyone in Leatherhead with the good news of Jesus, for disciples of Jesus to grow in Christ's likeness and their giftings, and to send them as ambassadors of Jesus into workplaces, schools and to plant churches across Surrey to bring the good news of Jesus wherever we go.

Values.

As an HTB network church our values are:

  • Aim high – Ask God to give you a vision so big it’s impossible without him.

    ’Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…’ – Matthew 28:19

  • Enjoy it together – What unites us is infinitely greater than what divides us.

    ’Pray… that they may be one…so that the world will believe…’ – John 17:20-21

  • Give it away – You can give without loving, but you can’t love without giving.

    ‘The son of God… loved me and gave himself for me.’ – Galatians 2:20

  • Bow the knee – Humility is not thinking less of yourself but thinking of yourself less.

    ‘Same attitude of Jesus… he humbled himself, made himself nothing… taking the very nature of a servant… Let us fix our eyes on Jesus.’ – Philippians 2:5-8

  • Never give up – A river cuts through rock, not because of its power but because of its perseverance.

    ‘Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus…who for the joy set before him endured the cross…so you will not grow weary and lose heart’ – Hebrews 12:1-3
