A Warm Welcome to Christ Church, McDermott Road, Peckham.

The following information will be helpful for you to plan a visit.

Where and When

Our doors open at 10.30am on Sunday morning, in readiness for the service which starts at 11:00. We meet in the church building at the corner of McDermott Road and Reedham Street (see map), and parking is available on nearby roads.
For your first visit, we recommend arriving 10 minutes before, to join us for our pre-service worship. 

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access. Please let one of the ushers at the door know on your arrival if you require further assistance. 

Our Sunday Morning Service

The morning service begins with a welcome, prayer and bible reading, as well as a time of praise and worship led by our musicians, consisting of a mix of hymns and modern worship songs. 

There will be a notices about news or upcoming events in the life of the church, as well as a story or short talk aimed at the children or young people. We place importance on the younger members of the church feeling a part of the service before they are invited to go to their own classes.

Before the speaker gives a bible based talk, the congregation will sing another hymn and have a time of prayer.

The service typically ends just after 12pm with a final hymn/ worship song and prayer.

In summary you can expect a warm welcome, heartfelt worship, relevant preaching based on the Word of God and a friendly group of people ready to learn more and encourage each other on the Christian journey.

Planning your Visit

Site of first Religious Radio Broadcast to a UK Church


on air

Built in 1880, our church holds a unique place in history as the site of the first religious radio broadcast to a UK church. This groundbreaking event which took place on the 30th July 1922, allowed worshippers in Christ Church to hear Dr James Ebenezer Boon as he broadcast from Blackheath, paving the way for modern Christian broadcasting.

In 2023, Paul Kerensa a well known writer and comedian, visited the church and re-enacted the broadcast, as shown here.

history

From its early days, our church has been a beacon of faith, committed to spreading the Gospel through both traditional and contemporary means. Today, we continue to honor this legacy, fostering a community feel, rooted in the love of Christ and dedicated to serving our neighbors with compassion as part of our Christian values.
