Pembroke House

St Christopher's Church

Pembroke House was founded with a church at its heart, which is dedicated to St Christopher, the patron saint of travellers. As a Parish Church it has a ministry to all the people who live in the geographical parish, and supports the projects of Pembroke House through prayer and volunteering. St Christopher's is part of the Anglican Diocese of Southwark in the Church of England.

The tradition of the parish is catholic and open, and our worship expresses the culture and experience of the people that come together, particularly in the use of music and ritual. Regular social events include English, Nigerian, Ghanaian, Caribbean, and Polish food. The church leadership reflects the variety in the congregation and wider neighbourhood, and seeks to welcome all, wherever they are on their journey.

Times of Holy Communion services are as follows:

Sunday 10am		Parish Mass with Junior Church

The mix of people in church on a Sunday morning reflects the diversity of the local population. There is a wide range of ages (from new-borns to people in their late eighties); there is a thriving Junior Church which retains the commitment of teenagers; and there are also opportunities for young people to be involved in music for the liturgy and serving.

The Church Council has passed the Inclusive Church motion to work for the full representation of people in all aspects of church life, irrespective of their sex, race or sexual orientation.
