In a statement, Father David said: "I’m enormously excited about starting work at St Christopher’s and Pembroke House. So many people have put so much time, care and money into making the place what it is today and now the task is to use our fabulous resources to make even more of a difference to the lives of those we seek to serve.

About St Christopher's

ChurchSt Christopher's (Walworth) 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.

The mix of people in church on a Sunday morning reflects the diversity of the local community. There is a wide range of ages (from newborns 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.

St Christopher's Church is proud to be a member of South London Citizens along with Pembroke House, working for justice and quality of life for London's citizens along with churches, schools, mosques and other organizations across south London.

For further information, and for baptisms, naming ceremonies, weddings, home blessings, funerals and the sacrament of confession, contact the parish clergy.

We look forward to welcoming you to St Christopher's Church!
