Lötenkyrkan is one of forty partner churches that exist between the Church of Sweden and the Swedish Evangelical Mission. Christoffer Abrahamsson and Heiner Helm serve as the pastors of the Church.

The Löten Church has a mission to reach Ethiopia, serving in the hospital in Aira in western Ethiopia. Two workers from the church work as a doctor (orthopedist) and a nurse, concentrating primarily on diabetic patients.

There are others who are involved in the teaching field, like teaching Theology at EGST (Ethiopian Graduate School of Theology), English at Mekane Yesus Church Training Centre in Addis Ababa etc.

The church has a Fresh Expressions community with an international focus called "Cross Culture" led by Rev. Edward L. Thomas.

This community meets every Sunday for worship, with preaching, Sunday School, prayer and fellowship.
