Welcome to St Oswald's Church, Cheam. We are a friendly, local, and inclusive church that strives to welcome everyone no matter who they are, and wherever they are on their journey of faith.
We are part of the Parish of Cheam, working with St Alban’s on Elmbrook Road, and St Dunstan’s in Cheam Village.
St Oswalds is an inclusive church in the heart of North Cheam. Inclusive Church is a group of Christians uniting together around our statement of belief:
“We believe in inclusive Church – church which does not discriminate, on any level, on grounds of economic power, gender, mental health, physical ability, race or sexuality. We believe in Church which welcomes and serves all people in the name of Jesus Christ; which is scripturally faithful; which seeks to proclaim the Gospel afresh for each generation; and which, in the power of the Holy Spirit, allows all people to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Jesus Christ.”
Our parish of Cheam is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Our Diocese of Southwark’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (details can be found by following the link below) . If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
