Belong, serve, give

Get Involved

Getting involved can begin with a first Sunday, but it grows through friendship, serving, generosity, and a shared commitment to the people around us.

Church life

Church Life

Most people begin by turning up on a Sunday, then gradually finding the rhythms and teams that help them belong more deeply.

Sundays and worship

Come on a Sunday, stay for refreshments, and let relationships grow naturally as you get to know the church family.

Start with Sunday

Park Kids

Sunday groups and All In Sundays help children belong, explore faith, and grow as part of the whole church family.

Explore Park Kids

Park Youth

Faith Explorers and Cornerstone create space for secondary schoolers to build friendships, ask questions, and follow Jesus.

Park Communities

Friendship, prayer, Scripture, and local care continue beyond Sunday through Park Communities and shared life together.

Prayer & Communion

Midweek Gatherings

Join us to pray each Monday–Friday at 8.00am for 30 minutes on Zoom at online.stjohnspark.org. We also meet to pray on the first Sunday of the month from 10.00–10.30am in the church building before the service. On Wednesdays, a quieter Communion service starts at 11.00am, followed by toasties or bring-your-own lunch and then Bible study.

Generosity

Celebrate

St John’s is growing! We praise God for growth in our under-18s, Sunday attendance and core team. Our foodbank has supported over 1,500 people, and we have shared the Gospel with many in our community through events. Regular giving has increased, and fundraising has secured over £100,000 towards building improvements. We have also been invited to partner with community organisations and the Diocese to do more work beyond our walls.

Growing Eden life

Will you partner with us?

We have a vision to see Eden life spring up in our community through the love of Jesus. This requires financial resources, and your regular gift will make a huge difference in helping our kingdom dreams come to life.

  • A regular gift through the Parish Giving Scheme is the best way to give.
