Church at South Hampstead

Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches
Congregation: 20 adults (3 under 18)

Church at South Hampstead is a gospel-centred, Bible-teaching church in North West London committed to knowing Christ and making Him known. We believe the good news of Jesus is life-changing and relevant for today.

Our gatherings are centred on expository preaching, prayer, and congregational worship. We aim to be a church family where Scripture shapes our thinking, the gospel shapes our lives, and love shapes our community.

We welcome people at every stage: whether exploring Christianity for the first time or seeking to grow in mature Christian faith.

Worship & Services

We meet on Sundays for gathered worship including Bible teaching, prayer, and singing. Midweek small groups and prayer meetings run during term time.

Sunday Service
Sunday, 10:30
Our Sunday gatherings are shaped by historic Christian faith and expository preaching. We read and teach the Bible carefully and systematically, sing biblically rich hymns and songs, pray together, and celebrate the Lord’s Supper every week. We believe the gospel of Jesus Christ is good news for London today, and we seek to apply it thoughtfully to everyday life.
Community Group
Wednesday, 19:30
Our midweek small groups are designed to help us move from hearing the Word to living it. Meeting in homes, we study Scripture together, reflect on its implications, and pray intentionally for one another. We believe Christian growth happens best in community: not just in rows on Sunday, but in circles throughout the week.
Hymns & Songs:
Our worship blends carefully chosen modern songs with rich historic hymns that are biblically faithful and Christ-centred. We value theological depth, congregational participation, and clarity in what we sing.
Main Bible:
English Standard Version
