The Church of England Continuing, of which we are a small congregation, was formed in 1994.
We believe that the Bible is as vital and relevant today as ever and must not be explained away but rather applied to this needy world.
Our basis of faith is the 39 Articles of Religion which dates back to 16th Century when God graciously brought England out of the Dark Ages.
Our denomination website is www.cofec.org where there are resources which will be very profitable to read, especially the early editions of "The Journal" which explain why the Church of England Continuing was formed.
Our Minister, Rev Peter Ratcliff ,was also Editor of English Churchman newspaper from 2005 to January 2021. For the Christian reader there is an archive of these editions at www.englishchurchman1.moonfruit.com
For those who are not Christians or are not sure of their salvation we recommend attending church services where you will hear preaching. If you are not nearby we may be able to recommend a church near you.
Public Worship
While "the church is the people" and we worship God all day every day, the heart of our lives is the Lord's Day (Sunday) when we meet together morning and evening because Jesus says, "Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them". Therefore we believe in reverent worship. Note: Some services may be online only during lockdown.
Lord's Day (Sunday) morning services at 11 am at William Morris House, 267 The Broadway, Wimbledon SW19 1SD . N.B EXCEPT on 11th July 2021 we are meeting elsewhere - contact us for details)We are preaching through the GOSPEL OF JOHN.
All very welcome but during covid restrictions please contact us first if we are not expecting you.
Evening service at 6.30pm is in a garden most weeks of summer 2021 weather permitting, otherwise indoors. Please contact us for location). Preaching is a new series from 14th March 2021: "THE BOOK OF REVELATION".
Midweek meeting
A church is a "Bible College" so we meet midweek to get taught what the Bible teaches. This usually includes time for wider prayer.
Wednesdays at 4.45pm in a garden, weather permitting, otherwise indoors.
Currently preaching through the THE BOOK OF THE PROPHET JEREMIAH.
All very welcome. During covid restrictions, if possible, contact us first if we are not expecting you.
Online
We post our sermons online and usually broadcast the whole on Youtube and Facebook. This helps those who genuinely cannot get out and for those searching and who may be shy to come in. While this has been very useful during the Coronavirus outbreak, we do not believe in "cyber church". We should meet together in local churches, not hop around the world online. Find us on YouTube and Facebook Live.
We are a small church which has its advantages and disadvantages. We aren't a clique and we do genuinely love to have all sorts of people together. You can call the minister, Rev Peter Ratcliff, on 07946 465156 or email through the form below.
