Our Mission
We are a friendly and welcoming worship community that loves God and people
Faith in Action
We point up some of the actions of our church through history, the service of vicars in two World Wars, connections with the Baden Powell family and in more recent years our campaigning for peace when our local streets sadly became known as 'Murder Mile.'
Our presence and our work in the community, have, we believe, made and continue to make a difference.
A Church for London
We share a vision of a Church for London that is Christ-centred and outward looking.
We seek to encourage as many members of the community as possible to encounter the love of God through Jesus Christ daily.
Embracing Capital Vision 2020 - our collective vision, which emerged from conversations with nearly 2,000 people - we seek to be more confident in speaking the Gospel of Jesus Christ, more compassionate in serving communities with the love of God the Father and more creative in reaching new people and places in the power of the Spirit.
Church of Sound Jazz Concerts
The church hosts successful Church of Sound Jazz concerts, bringing music and community together.
We love our music both in our regular services and in community concerts, and the Church of Sound concerts have become a highlight of our community engagement.
