Relaxed Family Service

Monthly. Every First Sunday at for 1 hour, 15 mins
St Richard's Church Centre
St Richard's Church Centre, 26 Swallowfield Road Charlton, SE7 7NR

Our Sunday Gathering at St Richard’s is intentionally different. It’s a relaxed, family-friendly service designed with real households in mind:
- We stay together as whole families and as a whole community.
- We sit around tables, not in rows.
- There’s space for conversation, creativity, worship and reflection.
- It’s engaging whether you’re new to faith, exploring, or have been around church for a while.
If you’ve ever thought “church isn’t for us” — this might be exactly the space you’ve been looking for.
🕓 1st Sunday of the month, 4–5.15pm
📍 St Richard’s Church, Charlton
Everyone’s welcome. Come as you are.

St Luke's

About St Luke's

St Luke’s is a welcoming Anglican church in Charlton Village. We have a strong tradition of being a place where people on the edge of society or the church have found a home.

Our services follow a traditional Anglican structure with a mixture of old and more modern hymns. We believe that the gospel is good news for everyone so we are intentional about justice, inclusivity and hospitality.

We’d love to meet you and help you find your place in our community.

About St Richard's

St Richard's is a hub for culture and community, a gathering point that offers people a way into community and an entry point for exploring faith.

​We host weekly and monthly services plus a range of community gatherings, including a discussion group, play café, youth film club, and live music events.
