A Warm Hello from Christ Church!

flowers

Located on McDermott road, 5-10 minutes walk from Peckham Rye Train Station, our church is made up of people from all walks of life who have a common belief in Jesus and His love for each one of us.

You may be interested to know that Christ Church McDermott was the site of the first Religious Radio Broadcast to a UK Church (watch re-enactment here), and recently featured on Songs of Praise on 1/9/24. You can view clips of that show on twitter or facebook.

We love to see new people and we really hope that you will feel right at home.
Our Sunday mornings begin with a warm welcome from our greeters and our service begins with an invitation to join in thanksgiving and praise to God.

Our worship is a comfortable mix of contemporary songs as well as familiar well loved hymns, and we encourage young and old to join together in song.
We look forward to a time of refreshing and encouragement as we put time aside to spend with God and with each other.

Site of first Religious Radio Broadcast to a UK Church

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.
