Christ Church W4 is One church, three sites in West London, with a dream - to see all welcomed home into, and transformed by the love of God. We long that all people would be confident that they are loved, accepted and valued by the living God, the Father –with God getting all the glory for all He enables us to become and do.

We worship Jesus in Spirit and truth, as people from all ages and backgrounds, and long for children and young people to live life in all its fullness, ministering to the whole church family.

We pray that our buildings bless the whole community, with space to meet God, make friends, and live like Jesus.

We adventure with God as our people become a movement of disciples, equipped to follow Jesus Monday through Sunday at home and in the workplace – this is how we change the world, because we did the ‘ordinary’ things well in partnership with God and all His children.
