Vision
According to the LCF website, its members aim "to act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God" (Micah 6:8). They state that through Biblical principles their vision has been constructed: uniting and equipping Christian lawyers in their common calling; witnessing to the Gospel through evangelism; taking action to uphold justice; and building unity through fellowship, prayer and the fellowship's commonly held beliefs. It means ensuring that a body of Christian lawyers will be well placed to give everyone in the legal profession the opportunity to hear and respond to the Gospel.
The LCF also believes in enabling its members through information, teaching, and support to fulfill their full potential as lawyers for Christ. They believe in witnessing to the legal profession by speaking of the Christian gospel and demonstrating God’s character of justice and compassion by upholding Christian values in the administration of law at home and overseas.
