About Us

We are a local church serving the Epsom Downs and Tadworth area, just half a mile from the Epsom Racecourse. The church is at the heart of a post war housing development by the boroughs of Reigate and Banstead, Merton and Sutton. Church family


An informal fellowship of around 150 people, with a clear mission to serve and reach our community on the Preston Hawe estate and surrounding areas.

The local authority, Reigate and Banstead Borough Council has identified this estate as needing significant community development. The area has the highest lone parent family levels in Surrey, higher unemployment, lower levels of higher education, and more overcrowding than any other ward in the area. The church is in partnership with the local authority and other statutory and voluntary agencies seeking 'regeneration' of the area! A number of initiatives are currently being developed. The church draws its congregation from a wider area than the local estate, but its mission is first and foremost to be a growing community church for the local community.

Overseas

Each year we support the relief and development work of organisations such as: Tearfund, and Cry in the Dark.
