About Us

St Sebastian’s is the church serving the Parish of Wokingham Without in semi-rural East Berkshire, and is located in Sonning Deanery, Archdeaconry of Berkshire and Diocese of Oxford. The Parish is unusual in that it has no community centre. The Parish has however recently expanded to incorporate a new housing development at Buckler’s Park, Crowthorne.

We aspire to be a more Christ-like Church (contemplative, compassionate and courageous for the sake of God’s world).

We are a church with a big heart for Jesus, the Holy Spirit and Prayer. We are of a charismatic evangelical tradition. We are a church centred on Jesus and with a laser focus towards being outward facing and mission focused, whilst nurturing the spiritual health of those who regularly attend. We are passionate about engagement with our immediate community near and far and see our ministry in knocking the door of heaven through prayer for the Lord’s direction of travel. Our desire is for the Lord’s purpose to prevail in all ministries and the life of our community, so we seek alignment to His will in everything we do (Proverbs 19:21).

St Sebastian’s Parish is a registered charity of The Charity Commission for England and Wales, Registration number: 1139933, and a Parish of the Church of England.
