Welcome to St John's

You can find St John's about halfway between New Malden and Kingston on Kingston Road (KT3 3RX) - more info on our Find Us page.
Keep in touch with us by joining our mailing list and each week receive our regular Friday email with news of our Sunday services and news for the coming week.

Funeral Service including Thanksgiving for the life of Joyce Dallison
St John's at 1:30pm on Friday 17th January
All who knew Joyce are invited to attend the service and stay for refreshments afterwards.
The service will be followed by a brief committal at Kingston Crematorium. Friends of Joyce are welcome to come to the crematorium or stay in church for refreshments, and to peruse the photo presentation, as well as add contributions to the Celebration Memory Book. (Printed items can be paperclipped to the book ready for compiling at a later date. If you bring photos you would like returned, please label them with your name and address and we'll get them back to you.)
Dress code
Joyce wanted her service to be bright and 'not gloomy' and as she was never a fan of black clothing, please wear bright colours or a splash of colour with black if you wish to wear some black.
Donations
Rather than flowers, we would like to suggest a donation to Joyce's beloved charity, Tadworth Children's Trust.
You can do this online by visiting www.thechildrenstrust.org.uk/donate, or cash donations will be collected in the church on the day.
Streaming
If you are unable to be present on the day, the service will be live streamed on our YouTube channel and available for a few months afterwards.
Live stream from Crematorium: 17.1.25 from 3.00pm

New Year Motto Verse
Sundays at St John's
January 2025 Sermon Series: "Luke and the Lowly"
A key feature of Luke's gospel is its emphasis on Jesus' interactions with those who were least valued by society, including the poor, tax collectors, people with disabilities, and women. During this series we will examine what stands out about the way Jesus relates to these people, and the insight that this gives us into the nature of the kingdom of God that we are called to proclaim and embody.
This weekend (Sunday 19th January) Roger Parham will explore 'The widow of Nain' (Luke 7.11-17)
Our Sunday morning groups for children and young people meet during the service. There is a creche, as well as an opportunity for those of primary or secondary school age to meet together in separate groups. There is also a relaxed space (with toys) for parents or carers with babies or toddlers to sit near the rear of the congregation if they wish.
St John's Prayer Meeting - each Sunday evening in the church lounge at 6.30pm.

St. John's is an evangelical church within the Church of England. We aim to be a welcoming place and to serve our local community. The area around our location in Kingston Road, about half way between Kingston and New Malden, has changed a lot since our church was founded as a tin hut mission church in 1885. But inside our 20th century church building, the strength of commitment is as firm as ever.
At St John's we take the safeguarding and care of children and vulnerable adults very seriously.
Further information can be found at Safeguarding
The local primary school - Christ Church Primary School was founded and is partly funded by Christ Church and St John’s
Room Bookings: Some rooms are available for hire - see our page on Room Bookings. All bookings can be made through the Church Office.
