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.
