Following Christ, Shaped by the Eucharist, Sent in Love

At St John the Divine, Richmond, we believe that worship leads to mission and that discipleship is a lifelong journey. Rooted in the sacramental tradition of the Church of England, our community is centred on the Eucharist – where we encounter Christ, are nourished by grace, and sent out to live the Gospel in the world.

We are committed to growing as disciples: people shaped by prayer, Scripture, and the sacraments, becoming more like Jesus in our daily lives – more courageous, more compassionate, more attentive to the needs of others.

Our tradition is rich, but not rigid. We hold together beauty in worship and boldness in action. We welcome questions, value reflection, and seek the Spirit’s guidance in responding to today’s challenges.

We are proudly inclusive: all are welcome here, regardless of background, gender, sexuality, or circumstance. Faith at St John’s is not just about coming in – it’s about being sent. We want to be a church that makes a difference in Richmond and beyond.

Whether you are exploring faith for the first time or seeking a place to grow deeper, come journey with us as we follow Christ and share his love in the world.
