Our church welcomes worshipers from other Orthodox Christian communities (Greek and non-Greek) and is especially popular with the younger generation who select it for their weddings and baptisms. We are the only Greek Orthodox church in the United Kingdom that broadcasts live video (see links above) and caters for online bookings (see link above) for weddings and baptisms. In addition, for weddings, we have authority to perform the civil ceremony at the same time as the religious one. Who were the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ? Click here to find out.

FOOD BANK DONATIONS AT OUR CHURCH
The Twelve Apostles Church Food Bank is back in full operation, after the unavoidable but temporary interruption due to construction works at the Church.
The Food Bank, is run by a dedicated team of volunteers led by Stella Spyrou and has been working hard in support of local families. The aim of the team is to resume as soon as possible in the new year with the aim of helping hundreds of local people and families in this post-pandemic period with a soaring cost of living to cope with.
For the Food Bank, we would like you to donate non-perishable foods or give money for us to purchase these foods to give to those in need. Please see the attachment TWELVE APOSTLES FOOD BANK.PDF for more details. If you can help with packing these foods ready to be given to those in need, please contact the church to find out when we will need help in preparing the boxes.
If you know of a neighbour, loved one, or have a contact that is in need of urgent assistance kindly call our church office on 01707650147. The team will do everything in their power to help.
For the Food Bank to increase the size and scope of its ability, it needs as much prayer and financial support from the wider community in the coming months. Please call our church office to find out the many ways you can help.
We thank you in advance for your kind gifts and God bless you and your families abundantly.

Card Payments
|

Our church now accepts card payments for booking weddings and baptisms, paying for other services or making donations.
Parking
|
The larger parking area is available on your right hand side immediately after passing the church (if you have turned off Great North Road into Kentish Lane). Please use this area to avoid congestion in the smaller parking area in front of the church. |
Parking is available within the grounds of the church for all services. The car parking areas are clearly labelled and there is capacity for approximately 200 cars. Hence, if you are organising a baptism or wedding, your guests do not need to worry about where to park and neither do you.
