Bookings
We have been blessed with a beautiful building in a beautiful area, and as such we want to bless our local community with the space.
In November 2020 we finished a significant refurbishment where we changed the entrance from St Dionis Road to Parsons Green, laid a brand new parquet floor, fitted a fully commercial kitchen with a reading pod on top, added 3 toilets, created some extra rooms within the space and updated our whole lighting system (helping us to win the Bronze Eco-Church Award from A Rocha UK). For more information and photos of this refurbishment project (Living Space Project) click here. The church is fully accessible and open to all.
For our full terms and conditions see the document attached.
