Sunday Worship

10:30 am every Sunday

We want to welcome you on this virtual visit to St. Augustine. Here you will find information about Worship, Christian Education, fellowship and ministries, weddings, baptisms and special events.

St. Augustine is a place to explore faith together and we try to be creative about how we do this. We are located in the nature reserve of One Tree Hill. This gives us a unique opportunity in London to reflect on God’s creation and our place in it. We share the message of compassion and love in a world that is so often hurting and cold. It is the message of the one who came to us with that same love and compassion to strengthen us and encourage us to really live life in all its fullness. In this quiet oasis there is room to mediate and reflect, to walk, to pray, to be quiet. Come and share in our fellowship anytime. You would be most welcome.

Who Are We?
St. Augustine is an Anglican parish church in southeast London located in the Park of 'One Tree Hill' on Honor Oak Park. At our heart is faith in God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. We seek to grow in knowledge of and obedience to Him. We are committed to the Bible, prayer, being open to the Spirit and serving the people of our community in creative ways. We strive to bring people into a vital creative relationship with our Lord through our worship, fellowship and prayer; teaching and pastoral care; reflection and action. We are committed to fostering and nurturing the depth of relationship between God and his creation and with one another. Everyone is most welcome to come and be a part of shaping our fellowship at St. Augustine. As most of the building is all on one level, there is easy access to all parts of the building including toilets and the parish rooms.

Drop in for a visit
Are you walking in the park of One Tree Hill? Would you like to see the Church or just relax with a coffee? On the first Sunday of every month we offer a cafe from 11:30am to 4pm. Come along and join us.

Parish Office Hour
A parish office hour takes place most Saturday mornings from 11am - 12 noon. It is run as a drop in to meet with people about weddings, baptisms or any other matter that they would like to address. Please do feel free to drop in. Although an appointment is not necessary, it is advisable to telephone. Click on the Notices page to see if there is an office hour on any particular Saturday.

Parish Boundaries
The Church of England has a parish boundary system in place. In part, this is for legal reasons but it does ensure that everyone in the land has access to the church for whatever their needs might be. If it is our desire, today's mobility easily allows us to move outside our own parish and attend elsewhere.
Click Here if you would like to know if you live within the parish boundaries of St. Augustine. You will be directed to a map page outlining the boundaries. Just follow the directions on the page.
St. Augustine is a united Benefice with Holy Trinity, Sydenham and share the same vicar. The two parishes work closely with one another running some joint programmes and having joint services from time to time. Click here for the website of Holy Trinity.
