There has been a church here on Higher Drive, Purley, for over 100 years. The church was originally formed when St John the Evangelist Church, in Old Coulsdon, decided to plant a number of churches in its, then, very large parish. St Barnabas became a parish in its own right around the beginning of the 1960s. We held our final service in this church on Sunday 8th June 2025.

The congregation of St Barnabas is no longer worshipping in this building, but you can find us in our new permanent home, at All Saints Church, Kenley.
