One church, three gatherings
For we were all baptised by one Spirit so as to form one body – whether Jews or Gentiles, slaves or free – and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. And so the body is not made up of one part but of many.

Welcome to church
What happens on a Sunday?
Kids (0–11 years)
Children sit in the service with their families for the first few songs. After this, they go to their age-specific groups in the building, where they follow a fun, safe, age-appropriate programme where they can learn about Jesus, grow and make friends.
The foyer and nursing room provide space for parents with babies. Children are always welcome to sit with parents in the service as well!
All our staff and volunteers are DBS-checked and trained in safeguarding and SEND provision.
You can sign up your child(ren) before Sunday here.
Youth (11–18 years)
Dundonald Youth is made up of Pathfinders (Years 7–9) and CYFA (Years 10–13).
Pathfinders have groups at our 10 am and 4 pm gatherings where they learn how we can know God through His Word, trust His Son Jesus, and worship Him with our lives today.
CYFA youth meet informally before the 6:30 pm gathering to hang out and play games, and then join the service. They also have meetups during the week.
You can sign up your child(ren) before Sunday here.
What to expect
What should I wear?
There is no dress code for church – come as you are! We want everyone to feel comfortable and at ease.
How do I get there?
Off-street parking is available on the church’s side of Kingston Road. We do however encourage people to consider our neighbours in the surrounding residential streets and walk, cycle or take public transport to church.
Dundonald Church is close to many local transport links. We’re about a 7-minute walk from Raynes Park Station. The 163, 152 and K5 busses stop right in front of the church.
Where can I go if I have a question?
When you arrive at church, you will be greeted with a warm welcome by our welcome team. If you have any questions or need assistance, they will be more than happy to guide you and point you in the right direction. Our welcome desk is staffed both before and after the service, where you can find helpful people ready to assist with any enquiries. Additionally, feel free to approach any of our pastors or service leaders, who are always available to offer support and answer any questions you may have.
What happens during a gathering?
Our services normally begin punctually with two or three songs of praise to God. At the daytime gatherings the children then go to their groups where they follow a fun, safe, age-appropriate programme for about an hour. The people in the auditorium pray and hear a passage of the Bible read and unpacked by the preacher. There might be some discussion time in small groups, followed by coffee and tea before the children return to their families.
What kind of church are you?
We’re an Evangelical church, which means that we believe in the good news of Jesus, and we are committed to God’s Word, the Bible. We’re not a perfect church – in fact, we are extremely imperfect. And yet, we believe in someone who is perfect, whose work for us is enough, and whose Word to us is sufficient.
