St John's Church is an active parish church with a congregation mostly drawn from the town of Epping and representing and including a wide cross-section of the community and different ways of expressing faith. We work with all the local schools, including the local church secondary school and have several different children's groups for different ages, including a mid-week pre-school age group. We have good community links, acting as a concert venue. We hold an annual Christmas Tree Festival as well as other events through the year.
Our parish of Epping: St John’s 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 Chelmsford’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 our PSO, Natalie Kelberman via the Team Office, Tel: 07795 246 488 or Email: [email protected] or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor via Tel: 01245 294444 or Email: [email protected]
