Parish of Herne Hill

St Paul's Church, Herne Hill, London, SE24 9LY

Herne Hill is a multi-cultural, socially mixed area of London between Brixton, Camberwell and Dulwich. St Paul’s is one of two churches in the parish, the other being St Saviour’s. There are about 330 regular worshippers, from all ages and backgrounds who attend our 8am, 11.15am and 5pm services at St Paul’s and our 9.30am services and monthly Messy Church at St Saviour’s.


Our Parish aim is “in God’s strength to bring Jesus to the centre of our lives and to the heart of our community”. Music is seen as having an important role in helping realise this aim.


The style of services at the 11.15 service at St Paul’s covers a spectrum, from traditional services of Holy Communion to more informal all-age worship. This is reflected in and supported by a range of music, mainly provided by organ or piano and a small adult choir. The 5pm service at St Paul’s and the 9.30am at St Saviour’s are more informal with a worship band
