Traditional & Contemporary
St Margaret’s church is a historic building in the town centre of Edgware with a large community garden around it. It is a grade II listed building. The inside is has a blend of historic, traditional features such as stain-glass windows and state-of-art lighting, sound system and projection screens for contemporary worship.
We are a culturally diverse family following Jesus.
Bible teaching is important to help us go deeper with God.
We believe that the gifts of the Holy Spirit are given to all according to God’s time and purpose, for the building up of the church.
Contemporary Worship
As an evangelical charismatic church, contemporary worship forms an important part of our Sunday services. Our worship is band-led, apart from one traditional hymn played on the organ at the start of the service. We expect to hear from God during our worship and prayer times, and regularly share prophetic words of encouragement and testimonies of God at work in people’s lives.
We enjoy worshiping freely with a mixture of traditional and contemporary songs and movement.
We believe that church services should be fun and engaging
We welcome newcomers from any background
