Privacy Policy

At St John's Chelsea we collect different types of information about our users for the following main reasons:

  1. To provide a useful resource in the form of an online directory of users.
  2. To provide an interactive website where email is used to communicate with the users.
  3. To provide a security mechanism whereby we can restrict content to certain groups of users.
  4. To enable the purchase and delivery of goods through our online shop.
  5. To help us to improve the service we offer.

Our principles

We are absolutely committed to protecting your privacy. Our policy can be summarised in one sentence: we will not share your information with others without your consent.

We have established the following two principles:

  1. We will respect your email privacy. You will only receive email from St John's Chelsea in relation to areas you have expressly signed up for.
  2. We will not share any individual user details (including your email address) to any third party without your consent.

What information do we collect?

We collect information on our users through registration.

The minimum information we need to register a user is your first and last name and a password. We also ask for some further, voluntary information so we can provide a richer, more useful address book.

We collect information on our customers when you make a purchase through our shop.

We will collect your name, postal and email addresses, payment information and information about your order. Payment information is then transmitted and processed securely and is NOT held on our servers.

Who will have access to your information?

You have control over who is able to access specific items of information. By default your personal information will be visible to other authenticated users of the site. You can change these settings from your personal profile page. Your information will be used to build the online address book and show your birthday in the St John's Chelsea calendar.

What else you should know about privacy

Remember to close your browser when you have finished your user session. This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence if you share a device with someone else or are using a device in a public place like a library or internet cafe. You as an individual are responsible for the security of, and access to, your own device.

Please be aware that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information over the internet that this information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information in publicly accessible online forums, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your usernames and passwords and any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you are using the internet.

Our pages may contain links to other websites, and you should be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices on other websites.

We use Stripe for payment, analytics, and other business services. Stripe collects identifying information about the devices that connect to its services. Stripe uses this information to operate and improve the services it provides to us, including for fraud detection.

Planning your Visit

Welcome!

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

We meet at the Church Building (details here) for our Sunday Service starting at 11:00am. Our church is at the top of the stairs, and we have a lift available, too!

We'd love to have you arrive 10-15 minutes earlier to join us for a cuppa, and to find somewhere to sit before the service begins.

When you arrive at the main door, the church hall is the first set of doors on your right. You will be greeted by a welcomer or by some of the kids running around!

Accessibility: We have a lift available at the back of our stairs, as well as a disabled toilet.

Our Service

We start the main service around 11:10am with a welcome from one of our team members. The service includes some singing, a time of confession together, prayer as a church family, and then a 5 minute break to stretch our legs and refill our cups.

We then get back together for individual prayer requests, and hearing from the Word of God with with a Bible passage followed by a sermon (where the preacher teaches the passage).

Afterwards we sing another song before closing our time together.*

We eat lunch together as a family after the service (except for the Sunday of the month) - please do stay to eat with us! 

*(Once a month we will have the Lord's Supper together after the sermon.)


Church lunch - 1

What about my kids?

We all worship as one church family during the first half of the service, but during the break children aged 3-11 will head to our Sunday Class called Explorers for Bible teaching, games and discussion with certified leaders. They will stay in the group until the end of the service, when we will have lunch together.

Once they reach secondary school age (Year 7+), they will start transitioning into the main service.

Getting Connected


Community Groups

While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in our midweek smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of one of our Community Groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other as church family.

We have groups on either Wednesday or Thursday evening.

Serving and Volunteering

When you've settled in at St John's and would be interested in serving to help us make Sundays run smoothly, you can sign up to serve on a team. Our Parish Administrator, Rhoda, organises our serving & volunteering rotas. 

Socials

We also run a range of socials with at least something happening each month - see our calendar for more info!
