Over the past couple of months we have been running a fundraising campaign to support St John’s as our income has slumped, like many other organizations and churches. Admittedly the campaign could have gone a little better, but that’s not the end of the world. But within this campaign, we have experienced a dramatic decline […]

We are launching our Debt Awareness Campaign at St John’s this week to help those in need during these difficult times we all find ourselves in. Debt is a very serious subject which can feel very lonely and frightening, so we want to try to gently tackle the taboo around not talking about it and […]
Augusta Savage Presentation 20092020 It’s wonderful that our young people are engaging in our celebration of Black History.

As we enter autumn the impact on the building through the change in weather doesn’t go unnoticed. Gone are the sunny days of just a couple of weeks ago. We’ve seen some change in a window by the tower which needs urgent and costly attention, the lights in the nave need some replacing as the gloom […]

We are pleased to launch the campaign to raise funds to support the continued running costs of St John’s. Because of the generosity of volunteers, most of what we do costs very little, but the reality of running the ‘Cathedral’ of Upper Norwood & Crystal Palace is that the building and its running cost quite a few pounds […]

We believe in inclusive Church - a church which celebrates and affirms every person and does not discriminate. We will continue to challenge the church where it continues to discriminate against people on grounds of disability, economic power, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, learning disability, mental health, neurodiversity, or sexuality. We believe in a Church which welcomes and serves all people in the name of Jesus Christ; which is scripturally faithful; which seeks to proclaim the Gospel afresh for each generation; and which, in the power of the Holy Spirit, allows all people to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Jesus Christ.
