Testimonials:
Hsin-Ju, ESOL student from Taiwan

"Murielle is an absolutely scientific, patient, and engaging teacher! She has a unique ability to make classes effective by finding students’ shortcomings, providing targeted explanations based on students’ questions. The content is well-designed ,covering one topic each class, integrating listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills seamlessly. Not only did I have a better understanding of each topic, I can also use what I have learned more with more proficiency. She is always considerate and ensures that the class meets the needs of students at all levels. Her classes are lively, interactive, and never dull. Through activities like sentence-building and group discussions, we progress while enjoying the process.
I am truly grateful to Murielle and the church for offering this English class. It has been one of my most cherished experiences of learning English in London!"

Carol, ESOL student from Hong-Kong
"Thank you for having me in your class .. and your smile and patient to us.
I have joined the ESOL class since October 2024. I find the class material is very useful in daily life and my oral English is getting better and better. The classmates are coming from different countries that I can learn more about their different cultures.
I will recommend anyone I know to join the class ."

Planning your Visit

Welcome!

We are a church made up lots of different kinds of people from different backgrounds. We gather together on Sundays and during the week and treat each other as a big family.

You are very welcome to one of our services, whatever your background or beliefs. We all come with all kinds of problems, struggles and doubts. None of us are sorted people, and so we like to call church a hospital for the sick, and not a waiting room for a job interview!

So, we’re just very ordinary people who have been deeply changed by coming to know the God who’s described in the Bible. That God no longer seems unreal nor remote to us, but real and powerful and life-changing. It feels like we’ve been given a dramatic new start through getting to know him. We firmly believe that this is good news for the whole of London and would love people to experience it themselves.

In terms of practicalities, we meet 11am on a Sunday morning.

Finding St John’s can be a little tricky for some as it doesn’t look much like a church building from the outside, and is located on the first floor above a police station (!). You basically go up some steps up from the World’s End Piazza and enter the building through the white doors at the top.
We have a lift available by the stairs for accessibility purposes (we also have disabled toilet).

The service is informal and we sit on chairs around coffee tables in the main church hall. The service includes some singing, prayers and teaching from the front. We also have a short break in the middle. It is normally finished by around 12.30. No one has to participate in anything they don’t want to and everything comes up on a big projector screen at the front. Bibles are supplied.
If you want to, and have time, you can also stay after and eat lunch with everyone. We have food every week.

There is a separate group for kids aged 3-11 so they can go out for some of the service and have fun and child-friendly teaching during the service. Teenagers sit in for the whole service.

We’d love to meet you and are happy to talk through any questions or doubts you have. Come and get some hope in a very troubled world.
