Raynes Park

 10:30am Sunday Gathering

Our meetings are lively, informal with inter-generational activities, prayer, sung worship and age-appropriate Bible teaching

We meet at: The Scout Hut, 106 Cottenham Park Road, London SW20 0SX

We run mid-week groups for adults on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings from 7.45-9.15pm. We like to vary the format between courses, Bible study and special one off events. This usually involves meeting in small groups in homes to learn, reflect, discuss and pray together. Our desire is to know God better and deepen our inner lives.

Please contact for further details of dates and venues.

On Wednesdays we run our Babysong group at 496 Kingston Road, SW20 8DX. It's an opportunity for parents or carers to bond with babies and toddlers (0-3 year-olds) by gently singing and playing together in a guided group session, followed by refreshments. Every Wednesday (in term-time), from 10-11.30am. Cost is £2 per session.

Our children's Sunday school meets every Sunday morning as part of our gathering. We have a range of ages and opportunities for age-appropriate teaching.

Our youth group, 103%, for 11-16 year olds is engaged in weekly faith discussion as well as justice activities and social gatherings. Every year we hold a short residential. Our young people are also involved with the worship band and offering tech support during our Sunday gathering.

Our sixth formers group meets occasionally on Sunday evenings where we explore faith and help to prepare our young people for life after leaving home.

Back in the summer of 2015 we were moved by images of refugees seeking sanctuary from war and violence and motivated to put our faith into action. Since then we’ve been involved in variety of responses from sending aid to Athens and Calais, helping to reunite unaccompanied child refugees with their families in the UK and more recently sponsoring a Syrian family through the Community Sponsorship of Refugees scheme. It has been an extraordinary experience as we have embarked on the journey of helping a family to build a new life in the UK. As one of the first community sponsors in the country we are committed to sharing our experience and encouraging others to get involved and have a go themselves.

Take a look at a little of our story here in a video on our YouTube site.
