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 […]

Phase I of the Heritage Lottery Fund grant process is complete, so we are well on the way towards saving St John’s!

St John the Evangelist Church in the London suburb of Crystal Palace has a long and rich history; but to have a future, the building needs extensive and urgent repair work. In a nut-shell, St John’s is falling over. It has subsidence on an epic scale with cracks in its walls and a constant movement […]
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.
