WLA in the Community
How are we involved in the London community?
We have a number of local missions focused on meeting needs in the community:
We have a community garden for our neighbours who live in the surrounding apartments.
We lead a conversational English ESL program for women in the community on Friday mornings.
For the seniors in the community we have weekly drop-ins and exercise classes, including Bible studies and worship services.
We partner with other churches in our community on Monday nights (NWL Connect) encouraging people in our community to explore their faith and build relationships.
We contribute resources (WLA Cares funds and our donation bin) to the Northwest London Resource Center, who run a food cupboard for families in need in our community.
We have a work team that helps out with projects in the community including building, fixing, moving, and helping those in need.
We have a Community Impact Team that goes downtown weekly to serve the "least of these" (Matthew 25:40).
If you are interested in finding out more, contact Graham Buchanan (Pastor of Community Life).
