St. John's is a large, multi-cultural, vibrant, welcoming Church. It is the spiritual home for hundreds of local people, of all ages, races and backgrounds. We enjoy being at the centre of the most exciting corner of London. At St John's we pray daily for God's blessing on Stratford. The Church has been an East London landmark, at the centre of the town, since 1834. It's a link with Stratford's past and very much part of Stratford's present.
The parish of Stratford: St. John w Christ 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 (See our website for details.). The Diocese of Chelmsford’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.
