Venue
Chelsea Old Church
Address
Old Church Street Chelsea, SW3 5DQ, United Kingdom

The Family Service never lasts more than 30 minutes. It is usually very noisy indeed. The first 10 minutes are formal and familiar - a mini-Mattins. The reading, however, is from the Lion Children's Bible. Parents and children follow the story from one of the 100 pew Bibles. Instead of a talk, the story is then acted out. There is a great emphasis on dressing up and unrehearsed audience participation. The service has its own "Wardrobe Mistress" and music features hymns old and new from our own Chelsea Old Church Children's Hymnbook.

no services in August

Chelsea Old Church

Our services follow the Book of Common Prayer and (apart from the Cromwell period) they have done so since the days of Queen Elizabeth I. Our Bible readings are usually from the Authorised Version.

It has been said of Chelsea Old Church that it has the finest collection of church monuments outside Westminster Abbey and they are especially valued because of the painstaking reconstruction of the church after its destruction in the Second World War.

The parish of All Saints (Chelsea Old Church) is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer(s), PSOs. The Diocese of London’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.
