Born from a word. Built on faith. Growing every Sunday.
In 2007, Pastor Ope Awolesi received a clear word from God to plant a church in East London. Three years of preparation, prayer, and unwavering trust later, in December 2010, that word became reality, and Great Light Church was born.
What started as a small gathering of believers has grown into a thriving, multicultural family drawn from every background, culture, and walk of life, united by one unshakeable conviction: that the light of Christ changes everything.
Today, GLC London is a vibrant community in the heart of Canary Wharf, committed to carrying the light of Christ into every corner of our city and beyond.
"To spread the gospel of Christ Jesus by making it accessible and digestible to all."
"The people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light, and for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death, on them a light has dawned."
Matthew 4:16
"To see every person transformed by the light of Christ and empowered to bring that light to their homes, communities and the nations."
