Welcome to St Paul's Church Grove Park, Chiswick

 We would be delighted if you came to worship with us in this church which has been used for Christian worship since 1872. Christians of all denominations are welcome here, as are those searching for God and indeed the simply curious. Our main act of worship is at 10am on Sunday and during this service, there is a creche for children at the back of the church. We have a large hall adjoining the church which is available for anyone in the local community to use. Click the Community Hall button to find out more. St Paul's is now supporting a food bank and donations are most welcome. Click on the Charities button for more information.  

St Paul's is very pleased to support Refugees Welcome Hounslow, which was set up by a group of volunteers in 2017. They wanted to help welcome Syrian families into our community, who have had to flee their homes and who found themselves as refugees. Since then they have helped settle ten households into our borough, in partnership with Hounslow Council. They have enriched our community and we have made twenty-four new Syrian friends! They have just made a short film about their experiences, which you can view here. Thanks to Rasha, Khales, Sanaa and Yanal for sharing their stories. If you would like to join the team at Refugees Welcome Hounslow then the contacts here at St Paul's are Shelagh shelagh.allsop@gmail.com or Rachel racheljtanner@gmail.com.
