A Spirit-filled and Welcoming Community

Royal Priesthood Pentecostal Church (UK) is a Spirit-filled Pentecostal church based in Thamesmead, London. We exist to glorify God by lifting up Jesus Christ through passionate worship, heartfelt prayer, and faithful Bible teaching. We are a church family where people are welcomed, discipled, and strengthened to live out their faith in everyday life.

We are a diverse congregation and we thank God for the different cultures, stories, and backgrounds He has brought together in one family. Whether you are visiting church for the first time, returning after a long time, or looking for a place to grow, you are welcome here.

Our Story

Royal Priesthood Pentecostal Church (UK) was birthed out of a desire to see people encounter God through worship, prayer, and the uncompromised preaching of the Word. What began as a gathering of believers hungry for God’s presence has grown into a church family committed to discipleship, spiritual maturity, and serving our community with compassion.

We believe the gospel of Jesus Christ transforms lives. As we grow, we remain focused on raising disciples, building strong families, and creating an atmosphere where the Holy Spirit is welcomed, the Word is honoured, and people are equipped to fulfil God’s purpose.

BELIEFS THAT UNITE US

Visit Our Sermons

Our beliefs are rooted in Scripture and centred on Jesus Christ. We believe in salvation through Christ alone, the authority of the Bible, the power of prayer, and the present work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer. If you would like to hear our preaching and teaching, you can watch our recent sermons and livestreams online.

Our Core Values 

These values shape our worship, our teaching, and how we serve. They guide how we live as a church family and how we represent Jesus Christ in our community.

We declare Jesus Christ as Lord and Head of the Church. In every part of our ministry, our desire is to honour Him, obey Him, and glorify His name.

We believe the Bible is the inspired and authoritative Word of God. We commit to teaching it faithfully, applying it practically, and living by its truth.

We believe God answers prayer. We are committed to personal and corporate prayer, seeking God’s guidance, power, and direction in every area of church life.

We welcome the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer. We desire spiritual maturity, holy living, and a growing hunger for God’s presence and power.

We are committed to the Great Commission. We share the gospel of Jesus Christ locally and beyond, and we support the work of God through outreach, missions, and discipleship.

We believe God strengthens families and builds healthy communities through His Word and love. We seek to support families through teaching, prayer, care, and practical encouragement!
