Our church welcomes worshipers from other Orthodox Christian communities (Greek and non-Greek) and is especially popular with the younger generation who select it for their weddings and baptisms. We are the only Greek Orthodox church in the United Kingdom that broadcasts live video (see links above) and caters for online bookings (see link above) for weddings and baptisms. In addition, for weddings, we have authority to perform the civil ceremony at the same time as the religious one. Who were the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ? Click here to find out.

FOOD BANK DONATIONS AT OUR CHURCH
The Twelve Apostles Church Food Bank is an initiative of our Archdiocese of Thyateira & Great Britain and we are trying to do our part in helping during these uncertain times.
The Food Bank at our church, which is run by a dedicated team of volunteers led by Stella Spyrou, has been working hard to support local families. We would like you to donate non-perishable foods or give money for us to purchase these foods to distribute to those in need.
If you can help with packing, please contact the church to find out when we will require extra pairs of hands.

Card Payments
|

Our church now accepts card payments for booking weddings and baptisms, paying for other services or making donations.
Parking
|
The larger parking area is available on your right hand side immediately after passing the church (if you have turned off Great North Road into Kentish Lane). Please use this area to avoid congestion in the smaller parking area in front of the church. |
Parking is available within the grounds of the church for all services. The car parking areas are clearly labelled and there is capacity for approximately 200 cars. Hence, if you are organising a baptism or wedding, your guests do not need to worry about where to park and neither do you.
