Welcome to All Saints and St Barnabas
Two inclusive churches in Purley and Kenley working together to serve God and our community.
As we continue on our journey towards becoming one worshipping community we take turns worshipping at each church for our Sunday 10am Eucharist. Our normal pattern is:
1st and 3rd Sunday at All Saints, Church Road, Kenley CR8 5DU
2nd and 4th Sunday at St Barnabas, Higher Drive, Purley CR8 2HR
Please check the locations below as sometimes things change.
Our 10:00am services are celebrated with a spirit of joy and we sing both traditional and modern music. We follow the pattern of the Church's year, but are committed to justice within creation, including Creationtide and Black History month in our yearly patterns of service. We also have a weekly traditional language service on Sundays at 8:00am; and, for members of our private All Saints and St Barnabas Facebook Group, we offer Monday-Friday morning and evening prayer.

Our beliefs
We believe in an inclusive church – a church which celebrates and affirms every person and does not discriminate. We are members of Inclusive Church.
We will continue to challenge the church where it continues to discriminate against people on grounds of disability, economic power, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, learning disability, mental health, neurodiversity, or sexuality.
We believe in a Church which welcomes and serves all people in the name of Jesus Christ; which is scripturally faithful; which seeks to proclaim the Gospel afresh for each generation; and which, in the power of the Holy Spirit, allows all people to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Jesus Christ.
