Welcome to Sanderstead Parish

Our four churches serve distinct neighbourhoods and minister in different ways to the people of the parish. We rejoice in our diversity as churches - but rejoice even more in our unity, as we seek to serve God and our neighbour together.

We are a Church of England Parish in South London, part of the Diocese of Southwark and part of the worldwide Anglican Communion.

All Saints Church, Sanderstead

Whoever you are, and wherever you find yourself on your journey of faith, there is a place for you at All Saints’. We're Christians working together for the glory of God and serving the community of Sanderstead. We meet in a beautiful church where prayer and worship have been offered since the 13th century. Sunday services are at 8.30am and 10am. If you are completely new to church life and want to try something new, why not come along to Sanderstead Light, our monthly informal service which takes place in the church hall.

St Mary's Church, Sanderstead

St Mary's is an inclusive, warm and human community, enriched by people of all ages from 0 – 90+! We are here for everyone in the area, both week by week and at special moments in life. We offer excellent provision for children and young families, and new facilities accessible for all. Our common life is centred on the Sunday morning 10am Eucharist, through which we are fed to follow Jesus and to be God’s people in the world. Music, especially choral music, plays an important part in our worship, including the beauty and peace of weekly evensong. But we are not here just for Sundays.

There are regular opportunities to pray and to act together, to learn more about the Christian faith,and to socialise. And through the recent transformation of part of our church building, St Mary’s Seven Whole Days project is seeking to serve all local people by becoming a hub for activities building up community, care, culture and education across the area.
