New Electoral Roll
We are now preparing a brand-new Electoral Roll. Please complete a form and return it to Dave Searle by 30th April.
About us
Ruxley Church is an Anglican-Methodist ecumenical partnership, and as we worship God together we continually discover that life in him through our Lord Jesus Christ brings peace, hope and a sense of purpose in all we do.
All are welcome at Ruxley Church whether you’re just ‘browsing’, have ended up here by accident or have recently moved into the area. We don’t mind whether you’re more holy than the Saints or are uncertain about the Christian Faith. You are free to join in where and when you want. We are just so pleased that you are here!
However, if you have questions about faith, or are finding life a struggle and would like to talk with someone, please don’t be afraid to contact one of our Ministry Team. We don’t claim to have all the answers, but we’re very willing to listen and help you explore further.
New Vicar appointed
The Archbishop of York is delighted to announce that Rev Alex Stevens has been appointed as House for Duty Priest at St Francis, Ewell, subject to DBS and medical clearance.
She is currently Vicar at Nork with Burgh Heath in Banstead and we’re hoping that Alex and her husband Michael will be able to move in during late May. Her induction service will be at 7:30pm on Tuesday 10th June.
Alex says: “Having had nearly 6 very happy years in the Parish of Nork with Burgh Heath, I now feel that God is calling me onwards and am very excited to be moving to the Parish of Ruxley. I loved reading the parish profile, visiting the parish and meeting Emma and the parish representatives - and am looking forward to joining Emma and the leadership team in shaping the parish’s next steps. There are so many wonderful examples of God at work in the Ruxley church family and local community. Both Michael and I look forward to meeting, getting to know you all, and seeing where God leads us all as we journey forwards together.”
Please pray for Alex and Michael as they prepare to move.
Ruxley Launch Eco Church
Caring for all of creation is part of our adopting a right relationship with God, and we have launched Eco Church!
This initiative of the Christian charity A Rocha is helping churches look at their worship and teaching, their buildings and energy use, as well as their community engagement to ensure that Christians are intentionally taking care of God's creation in all they do.
As a first step towards making our building energy efficient and working towards Net Zero, we are changing the old-style light bulbs to LED ones. We are applying for a grant which will cover most of the cost, but we need your help to cover the rest by ‘Sponsoring a Light Bulb’. A special form is available for this purpose.
