St Paul's Church was opened in 1930, and is at the centre of the Parish of Nork, sign posted from the A2022.

The Church has a modern, prayerful feel, with the appearance of the inside of the hull of an ark.

The tradition of the Parish is Modern Catholic, balancing word and sacrament. The Parish Sunday Worship includes modern and traditional music and settings. Our Sunday worship is inclusive of Children and Young People, we have a thriving Junior Church and we serve fair-trade refreshments.

St Paul's is a part of the Banstead 5 Ecumenical Fellowship of local churches, who work together for mission and Christian fellowship.

St Paul's has undergone a programme of redecoration and lighting works and the interior of the church building now looks stunning. We now have a dedicated 'Junior Church Room' and are developing our mission among families and children. Longer-term we would like to develop our Church and Hall facilities. Our Church is exciting & prayerful, all Welcome!

Tonight we remember these events with an act of foot washing, before Holy Communion, then a time of silent prayer in the Lady Chapel which is decorated like a garden with flowers and candles.
