Welcome to St John's Church, Fulham and our website

We've been at the heart of Fulham since 1828 serving our local community and being God's people. We are a lively, inclusive and growing church in the Catholic tradition of the Church of England and we have a passion to share with you the love of God made available to us in Jesus. Follow the link if you are you looking for the new Alpha Course?

Join us for worship on Sundays or during the week or just drop into our Weekday Chapel which is open all day for prayer.  You'll find us under five minutes from Fulham Broadway Tube Station opposite Waitrose on Fulham Broadway itself.

Currently our building is undergoing major refurbishment with scaffolding over the West End of the church and advertising on the scaffolding. It'll take several years to finish repairing and refurbishing the tower, repair the 3 roofs and refurbish the interior with new lighting, heating and a sound system alongside recreating something of the sense of mystery and beauty which a church should have to help us worship God.
