About Us

Mission

Christian Embassy is a non-political, non-denominational NGO. Our desire is to serve the spiritual and social needs of London’s diplomat community through dialogue, special events, and networking with leaders in the public and private sectors.

We believe that the worthy goals of international understanding, individual responsibility, and love for your neighbour, are affirmed in the teachings of Jesus and anchored in a reverence for God.
