About LCS

Lincolnshire Chaplaincy Services

LCS is an ecumenical organisation established to oversee the work of sector ministers who serve within the contexts of large and small scale industry, retail and town centres, local authorities, and education institutions. Besides industrial missioners the LCS team includes college and university chaplains, agricultural chaplains and an environment chaplain, covering the whole of the historic county of Lincolnshire . LCS provides the necessary financial and managerial support for this extensive ministry. We are building a close-knit team, which is engaging with the spectrum of concerns that affect the economic and social well-being of Lincolnshire .

LCS has adopted as the basis for chaplaincy the mission statement of Churches Together in All Lincolnshire. We are committed to:

v proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom of God and nurturing new believers;

v expressing the love of God through common service in our communities;

v resisting and seeking to transform all that threatens or subverts the values of the Kingdom;

v promoting justice, peace and reconciliation;

v celebrating and preserving the integrity of creation so that this and future generations can enjoy and share its blessings;

v finding other partners with whom we can work.

Chaplains are the face of the Church in places where the Church is hardly recognised. They pioneer along the fault line between the Church and society reminding both of the need to live out the values of God's kingdom. At times they find themselves at home in one more than the other, and like so many Christians they have found that the margins are a vantage point of truth.

Lincolnshire Chaplaincy Services works on behalf of all churches, assisting the work of every congregation with a heart for mission and we aim to be relevant to all institutions and communities helping them to flourish for the benefit of all.

Lincolnshire Chaplaincy Services is currently applying for charitable status.
