Faith Friendship Family�

Approximately 250 men, women and children attend The Community�Church. We are committed to helping each other grow in our Christian�faith and in our worship and service of God.�

We believe that all people�need Jesus and as a�church we have found that�faith in Him makes a differ-�ence in our everyday lives�

The Community Church is part of 'Churches Together in Surbiton' (CTS)�and 'Churches in Chessington and Hook Acting Together' (CHAT), is a�member of the Evangelical Alliance and works with the Pioneer Team.�

To be a church that demonstrates the reality of God's love and�power so that we can impact the people and structures of the�Royal Borough of Kingston and its locality.�

·� Jesus is our centre�·� Love is our goal and motivation�·� The Holy Spirit is our chief resource�·� Prayer is our key�·� The Bible is our inspiration�·� Mission is our expression�

This is us. Nice to meet you!�

We meet every Sunday at The Assembly�Rooms in Maple Road, Surbiton, from 10.30am�until just after midday.�

Our meetings are informal, with a lively all-age�atmosphere and include a mix of music*,�drama, and teaching. We seek to answer the�questions that many people are asking in a�clear and enjoyable way - basing our beliefs on�the Bible.�

A prayer team is available on Sunday mornings�to pray with individuals. This team is identifiable�by their badges.�

* Please note. We often use amplified instruments and drums as part of our worship and�occasionally this may mean that volume levels are higher than you may be used to in a church�meeting.�
