St Peter's Brocklye
St Peter's Brockley is a vibrant and dynamic church that has been an integral part of the Brockley community for an impressive 150 years. Over the past few years, we've witnessed a remarkable transformation as we united with young families from St Mary's Marylebone and a spirited group of 20s and 30s from Kings Cross Church (KXC), becoming one closely-knit family.
Drawing inspiration from our rich history, our Sunday congregations have flourished, embracing both newcomers to faith and those rediscovering their spiritual journey. We've even introduced a captivating Sunday evening service, creating more opportunities for worship and a deeper connection with the Spirit. Witnessing the flourishing growth of our kids' work, youth and student groups, and fostering a nurturing creative community has been incredibly rewarding.
Beyond the walls of our church, we have been deeply privileged to serve the local community through various 'Love Brockley' initiatives. From a social supermarket to a job club, dance school, friendship cafe, and support groups for young families and children, our commitment to making a positive impact is unwavering. In partnership with the diocese, we aspire to contribute to the grand vision of bringing God's kingdom to life across south east London, working hand in hand with many others in the area.
