From the early days the church was called to be a "church in the community" reaching people with the gospel and bringing the kingdom of God into the area through lives submitted to the Lordship of Christ. Freedom in worship and allowing the Holy Spirit to do his work were the God given emphasis from the start.

History

RPC started life as a house fellowship in Richmond Park Avenue (hence the name) in 1981. This was in the days of charismatic renewal in this country when many house fellowships sprung up, God began drawing people into the fellowship and baptising them in his Holy Spirit. From the early days the church was called to be a "church in the community" reaching people with the gospel and bringing the kingdom of God into the area through lives submitted to the Lordship of Christ.

Disability Access: The Richmond Park Church building is accessible by wheelchair, including the back rooms where prayer meetings and Sunday School are held, but there are no disabled toilet facilities other than a support rail in one of the usual size cubicles in both the gents and ladies toilets. As the Sunday evening Prayer Meeting is usually accessed by the side door (up a few steps) we would need to know in advance if wheelchair access is needed, or else you could telephone from a mobile phone when you arrive, so that the front door can be opened for you.

Giving / Tithing: We believe in the Biblical principle of tithing, that is, giving the first ten percent of your income to the church, but this is entirely voluntary and left to personal choice. It is possible to Gift Aid any money given to the church and we have forms available for you to sign to confirm this if applicable.
