At St John's, we take our faith in God seriously, like St Alban, England's First Christian Martyr, we believe in the 'True and Living God'. Every person has their own story to tell about him and we come together to grow in strength and the ability to tell that story. Some people have been living their faith for years - some people are very new.

Because we believe Jesus is the answer, whatever your question, each year we host an Alpha Course for those who want to ask the big questions about life, death and faith in God. And there are a variety of groups that meet regularly to deepen our friendship with each other and with Christ.

Once you put your faith in Jesus you then learn to live as a Christian. The Sacraments are the Church's way of making God's life available. So we encourage children to receive Holy Communion to develop their faith life. The course of preparation starts in September for children (from school Year 3 and above)

For a more mature decision there are Confirmation courses available to young people in Secondary School (starting in January). And an Adult Confirmation Course, again starting in the New Year, that includes film and visits to the National Gallery! If you would like to find out more, please email our Administrator.

There are groups running regularly which help us live our faith: the Book Club meets monthly and uses the Church Times suggested reads, the Men's Group meets regularly to socialise in a local restaurant and invites occasional speakers, the Women's Group... well, that's still waiting to happen!
