We are a very welcoming, family-friendly, encouraging church offering friendship, faith and a message of hope.

We aim to bless people from all cultures and stages of life - families, singles, young and old - and believe each person is valuable, created in God's image and someone for whom Jesus died and rose again.

Our vision is helping people grow spiritually in their Christian faith journey - and helping people encounter Christ. For us, growing means knowing God better, being transformed by the Holy Spirit, becoming more like Jesus and being established and equipped. Then in turn equipping one another, building one another up, being led by the Holy Spirit and making the most of opportunities to serve and use the gifts that God has given to each of us.

We aim to teach the Bible very faithfully often going through books of the Bible but also doing topical talks. We believe the Bible is God's Word. We believe in the importance of prayer.

We love to serve and connect with our local community and run various activities to bless the people of Ewell and the surrounding areas. These activities are run to meet various community needs - and give us opportunity to help and bless people practically.

We are passionate about helping children in their faith journey. We love to have fun and look forward to welcoming you and your children as we share and learn about Jesus together.
We run children's groups for different ages as well as a weekly toddler group, a dads & toddler group and Friday youth work.

We would really love you to visit us! We meet on Sundays at 10:30am at Christ Church Ewell, Cheam Road, Ewell, KT17 1AD. There is free parking in our church car park for those attending services.
