Welcome to All Saints, Upper Norwood!
Enter our doors and step into a fascinating place: this is the house of God, your Father/Mother; that makes it your house. So we very much hope you will come and visit, and feel completely at home here.
What makes this place special are its living stones: a vibrant community of ordinary people serving an extraordinary God. A place where authentic relationships are formed and nurtured. A place where hearts are anchored in the fullness of Christ and believers are mobilised for others to encounter the living God. This is family.
Here, at All Saints, we welcome people of all Christian traditions as well as people of other faiths and people of little or no faith. We are committed to the personal and spiritual development of all who worship here because we are followers of Jesus Christ. All are welcome. No ifs, no buts, no small print: all means all. In our diversity we show the diversity of the Kingdom of God, which is an image of God’s own self.
Our Parish is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officers (PSO), Irene and Nicola. Our Diocese’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO ([email protected]) or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (see www.southwark.anglican.org/safeguarding). If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police (ring 999) and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
