The church meets every Sunday at 11:00 for our service. All are welcome to arrive 15-20 minutes early to have a tea or coffee with some biscuits (and a chat!)

We meet at:
461-463 King's Rd
Chelsea
London
SW10 0LU

There is free parking on the roads around St John's.

You can expect a warm welcome; fellowship and faithful preaching based on the Word of God and a friendly group of people ready to learn more about what it means to be a follower of Jesus.

We have a great programme lined up for kids of all ages:

Creche Room (0-2 years) with appropriate facilities if you would like to use it during the service, or if you prefer, you can keep your little ones with you in the service if you wouldpre
Explorers (3-11 years)
Youth Corner (12+ years) in our main service

Children stay with their parent(s) or grown-up(s) at the start of the service as we worship (sing songs), together for the first part of the morning and pray together. During the mid-service break, it’s time for the younger members to go to their various groups. You will need to go with your children to their groups and register them as part of our child safety policy.

For more information about what happens in the children's work please visit the Children's Ministry page.

We take part in the Lord's Supper together once a month - to find out more about this, and who it's for, click here.

After the main services finishes there will be lunch served in the room next door - except for the first Sunday of the month, where people go to other's houses for lunch & fellowship.

Come and join us!

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!
