Who we are


Grace Church Worcester Park is made up of local people. Some of us have been Christians for a long time, others are still thinking things through. But all of us are keen to learn more about God, support each other in our daily lives and serve our local community in practical ways.

Lots of children come to Grace Church and every Sunday we have lots of fun activities for them to do in Children's Church. There is a creche too. Click here for more details...
