A Christian Community Seeking To Serve Jesus
It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the website of Saint Chad's Anglican Church, Chadwell Heath. We hope that our website will give you a glimpse of the Christian Community we are; what we seek to provide; and something of our heart and passion for the things of God and His world.
We are currently in interregnum. Our vicar of the past seven years, Revd Paul A. Carr, has recently taken up a new position as Team Rector in the Billericay and Little Burstead Team Ministry (remaining within the Chelmsford Diocese). Whilst we are sorry to see Paul, Paula, Benjamin and Annabel leave us, we wish them every blessing and success on their new venture and feel sure that the Lord will continue to bless Paul's future ministry. However, church life here at Saint Chad's will continue as usual as we continue to serve the Lord in Chadwell Heath.
Saint Chad's Church belongs to the Chelmsford Diocese (the Church of England in Essex and East London), and we are part of the Deanery of Barking and Dagenham. We are an international congregation with, at the last count, 30 nationalities represented in our church family. We regularly have upwards of 150 adults, 20 teenagers and 40 children worshipping together on a Sunday.
We are a lively, gently charismatic, evangelical church, which has a very relaxed, informal and contemporary feel with a whole range of activities to cater for people of all ages. We believe there is a genuine place for everyone whether they are: single; have a young family; those whose children have "flown the nest" (!); and (dare we say?) those of mature years.
On Sundays we provide a varied pattern of Worship alongside groups for Children and Young People. We have a wide range of groups meeting regularly throughout the week, which provide an opportunity for people of all ages to learn more about their Christian faith, and offer practical Christian friendship for everyone.
At the heart of our life together is the conviction that our calling as Christians is to serve Jesus and to serve one another, and this is summed up in our church motto: "A Christian Community Seeking To Serve Jesus". Please check out our "Vision, Mission and Values" page to see how this is lived out on a daily basis through the mission and ministry of Saint Chad's.
Please do not hesitate to contact us, if you have any queries, or if you simply want more information.
