Welcome to St John’s United Reformed Church, Orpington
St John’s URC is a Christian Church in Orpington, Kent. The mission of St John’s is to be a caring community of God’s people, where each person is encouraged to grow in faith and to share with others through worship, service, witness and lifestyle. One of our primary priorities is to serve our local community with particular emphasis on children and their families and young adults.
We discontinued our Pre recorded online Services in June 2021. Instead we are now “LIVE STREAMING” the Service on You Tube. Each Sunday the Service will be broadcast live at 10.30 with the exception of Parade Services. To view click this link You Tube . In addition recordings of the Service will remain on the You Tube site for you to play back at any time 24 hours after the service. If you do not have the link at any time, just open You Tube and search for “St Johns Orpington”

What’s on for Young People and Parents
Getting Involved
Each week we welcome a large number of people of all age groups to our church services and mid-week activities. We create a space and some time for people to ask questions about God, about life and about themselves. We offer a place and an opportunity to be still, to find help and to make friends.
If your questions are ‘what is there to do in Orpington?’, ‘what is there to do with the kids?’, ‘where can I go to say a prayer?’, ‘how do I go about making friends?’, ‘what activities are available for retired people?’, where can I find a way of doing some good? or ‘How do I find out more about faith?’, come and meet us!
