'A community growing in faith’

Daily prayers
A beautiful church for quiet contemplation
A warm community open to all

There has been a church on the St John’s site in Merrow since the 12th century, and visitors enter under a Norman archway. This beautiful, peaceful setting lends itself perfectly to the spiritually nurturing ethos brought to the church by Rev Rona Stuart-Bourne.

We are a community which values the treasures of our tradition, while endeavouring to translate the message of God’s transforming love, a message which never grows old; into a language that is accessible.

Wherever you are in your spiritual journey, you will receive a warm welcome at St John’s. You are invited to attend a service, reflect quietly in church or simply light a candle for a loved one.

At St John’s we believe that if people nurture spirituality in the community, then together we can make this a better world. There’s a thriving Baby and Toddler group, a Men’s Fellowship gathering, Messy Church for youngsters, Spokes for teenagers and lots more.

Please visit to experience for yourself the still, small voice of calm in our church.
