============
Our Vision Statement is
- to operate Christian resource centres that attract and impact the local community
- to provide relevant Christian resources that build up the Church and transform lives
- to fulfil our mission objective and contribute to literature-related projects worldwide.

The purpose statement of CLC is to glorify God by making Christian literature available to all nations so that people may come to faith and maturity in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Christian literature is our main thrust but we provide all sorts of other resources to facilitate evangelism and discipleship.

Our CORE VALUES are fellowship, sacrifice, faith and holiness

We trust that through these pages you will see that the scope of our activities and the impact that we seek to have for the growth of the Church extends far beyond the high streets where we are located in the UK.
CLC is a worldwide Christian resource mission with ministry in 56 nations, where we seek to build up the Church and advance the Christian faith through personal testimony and the provision of said Christian resources. Our main activity in each country is through bookshops but we are also wholesalers and/or publishers in about 20 of them. Our frontline teams are all backed up by equally dedicated team members in finance, administration and so on.
PRAY
Spiritually, we rely on the prayer support of the body of Christ in all that we seek to achieve, be and do, knowing that God hears and answers. We would very strongly encourage you to commit to praying for the CLC ministry and even to link up with a CLC worker and support them as regularly as you can in prayer. Or why contact your local CLC Bookshop and ask what you can pray for on their behalf? That would be a much bigger encouragement than you imagine!
GIVE
Materially and organisationally, we rely on sales income for sustainability, though donations are most welcome. It is no secret that bookshops in general are struggling to surivive. CLC is not an exception. Thank you for preferring to buy from CLC Bookshops.
Materially and individually, Any profits are ploughed back into the ministry or are used to fund literature-related projects worldwide, whether CLC ones or not. The ongoing general downturn in bookshop sales has a far wider impact for us than perhaps can be imagined at first sight. 
Gifts and legacies are accepted and used as indicated, as would be expected of any registered charity.
GO
The Great Commission has not been revoked. We see our role as being agents of change in advancing the Christian faith through evangelism and through the resources that we supply. Sustainability is always the issue, but the more CLC centres that there are in the world, the more we can impact local communities and churches.

The oft-heard call to Mission is to pray, to give or to go. In our case, sales ultimately feed into Mission too. Thank you sincerely for your interest, support and custom.

  Quick overview

• The ministry began in England in 1941. Yes, that's a long time ago!
• CLC's ministry in 56 countries comprises in excess of 190 bookshops, approximately 20 distribution warehouses and as many publishing houses.
  The ministry in each CLC country is set up independently. We are united by our common purpose, goals and International Constitution.
• The newest country in our worldwide ministry is Switzerland, where we now have a bookshop near Lugano, in the Italian-speaking area. We are currently investigating possibilities in at least three nations, and a CLC ministry is very close to launch in a fourth.
• Our most significant recent overseas event is the purchase of a distribution warehouse in Miami, as a launching pad for CLC books published by CLC Colombia.
• Here in the UK we are raising funds for converting shipping containers into bookshops, initially in NAIROBI, Kenya. Check out the shop-in-a-box page.
