We are a church
The word 'church' is taken from the Greek word which means 'belonging to the Lord'. God has bought people from all languages, peoples and nations to belong to Him through Jesus Christ's death on the cross. As we are now His, it is our goal to worship Him and to enjoy His presence.
We are a community
We don't only belong to God but also to each other. If you believe that Jesus Christ is your only Saviour and King then we want to welcome you as our brother and sister. As a family it is our goal to help one another grow in our relationship with Him and with one another.
We are a community for the community
We are also called as God's community to make a difference in the place where we live. There is a way for our church to do this and that is by preaching the Gospel and living according to it amongst the people of Canada Water and London.

Our History
We originate out of the service of the London City Presbyterian Church, a congregation that, together with the Reformed Churches in South Africa, works amongst South Africans in London.
Many of our members live in Canada Water and felt the need for a good church in their area. We have prayed about this and planned as a congregation for almost 8 months until, at the end of September 2006, we decided to trust the Lord and to start with a church.
In the meantime the Rotherhithe Evangelical Church, which is the only other Evangelical Reformed Church in the area, has made their building available to us.
