Some ideas

Describing a church is a little difficult. We have attempted to do so here but we have found that a community contains shades, colours and patterns of life that simply cannot be distilled into words. What we would say is that we welcome anyone to drop in and join us. We want our church community to be a loving, open, transparent place where anyone will feel free to come and find out about us.

Here are some ideas that we hope mark our lives together:

We are currently working on this section, and hope to publish our thoughts here in the next month or so as our community collaborates on drawing together the threads. In the meantime if you want to find out a bit more about our DNA then phone Fran on 020 7639 6471 or 07879 475934.

Welcome Building Community Journeying Together Getting Stuck In

Welcome to our small space in the big world wide web!

We’re a bunch of ordinary people from Peckham and the nearby areas learning to follow Jesus. The main thing we're doing is figuring out how to love God and our neighbours and what that means to us in the stuff of everyday life.

Upcoming events:

Sun Sep 05 @16:30 - 07:00PM 1st Sunday at St John's
Sun Sep 12 @16:30 - 06:30PM 2nd Sunday: Prayer and discussion
Sun Sep 19 @13:30 - 04:30PM 3rd Sunday: Meal, communion and prayer
Sun Sep 26 @08:00 - 05:00PM No Church
Sun Oct 03 @16:30 - 07:00PM 1st Sunday at St John's

We're about building communities, wherever we live and work.

We want to be a church that not only shares the good news about Jesus but is good news for all those who come into contact with us! We find parties and involvement in community festivals are a good way to do this, creating spaces for celebration that break down the barriers between people.  Eating together tends to happen a lot too.

We want to walk with people through all that life has for them, both good and bad.

Crucially for us its also about getting alongside those who are marginalised or just struggling to get by in life; trying to do something about injustice wherever it appears; being a community that engages in other people's worlds rather than expecting them to come to us; and when they do trying to make sure all can find a place of belonging and are helped in their journey with God.

We're about asking difficult questions but still getting stuck in.

Basically, we want to be the kind of people who ask questions about life even when it's difficult, but confident that as we do, Jesus is right there in the middle of it all. We're learning that when you do this as a community it becomes something quite extra-ordinary and can make a real difference. That's why we're passionate about constantly exploring, questioning, and wrestling with new and creative ways to live out the life of Jesus 24-7.

Have a look around, we would love you to journey with us.
