Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full”.
(John 10:10)
We are people of all ages from different backgrounds and experiences being drawn together as a community of faith, united by the deep and life-giving love and compassion shown to us through God's son, Jesus Christ.
Having received God’s gift of life, we seek to share that life by offering kindness, care and loving service to those who come to our church, to our local community of Penge, and to the wider world.
As a church, we long for people to find a spiritual home where each person is loved and valued for who they are, and where we can grow together and flourish in the varied gifts which Jesus has given us.
We are a people of faith, learning together, guided by the Holy Spirit, to discover more of the fullness of life and power of Jesus, and to join in God’s work in the world.
At Holy Trinity with St John’s, we:
worship the God who created us, saved us, and offers us life in all its fullness.
welcome all with the love that we have received from Jesus.
witness to our experience of the Holy Spirit’s work in our lives, in words and acts of loving service.
