St Paul’s Finchley is a friendly Evangelical Anglican church in the Diocese of London.
We get together every Sunday at 10am for a joyful, welcoming service. You’ll hear a mix of modern worship songs and some older favourites. Each week, there’s an encouraging and engaging talk – and we’ll be having a guest speaker once a month over the next year. We read the Bible together, pray, and enjoy a great time of worship. After the service, everyone’s invited for tea, coffee, and cakes over at the Church Centre.
Kids have their own fun and engaging church during the service, and we also run an Older Youth group (ages 14–18 years), with food, fun, friendships and faith, every other week until the summer holidays.
As a church family, we’re praying for a fresh move of the Holy Spirit – to know more of God’s incredible, unconditional love through Jesus, and to share that love with the world around us. Jesus came to bring life in all its fullness, and we want to be a part of what the Holy Spirit is doing in the Transformation of Finchley.
What we believe shapes what we do. Our faith is grounded in the Bible and the historic teachings of the Anglican Church.
We’re part of the evangelical tradition within the Church of England, which means we’re all about:
-
Trusting the Bible as our final authority on what we believe
-
Believing in Jesus Christ as God’s Son, and the only way to eternal life through His death on the Cross and Resurection
-
Encouraging personal faith in Jesus as the way to salvation
-
Following the Bible’s teaching on how we live and relate to others – including valuing marriage as a lifelong union between a man and a woman
-
Supporting the ordination of women
-
Being a church that’s shaped by mission and reaching out to the world
