What Is Christianity?

The message at the heart of Christianity is pretty simple. Find out what it's all about on this two-minute video. Turn your speakers on! At the bottom of the page there are details on how to ask any questions you may have.

Christianity is about Jesus. But who is Jesus?

Jesus once asked his followers this question:

"Who do you say I am?"

A prophet with a new teaching?
A healer to the sick?
A saviour to a lost world?

WIC.1

Jesus claimed each of these, but most importantly, he claimed to be God in the flesh.

At the dawn of time he ignited human history when he spoke. He breathed life into the lungs of the first man and woman - and every inch of creation itself.

WIC2

But we rebelled. We turned against our King and followed our own ways, even though it would cost us our life. Our sin poisoned his perfect creation, giving way to sickness, injustice, and death.

WIC3

Sin separated us from one another, and from God.

Why did Jesus come?

But rather than cast off humanity, God sent his Son Jesus to enter into the world he Created - the one broken by our sin. He breathed our air, became human like us.

WIC4

He lived a perfect life - the one God intended we live - and called us to repent of our sin and follow him in faith.

Some believed his word and recognised him as King. Others denied him. They crowned him with thorns and murdered him. They rejected him, and so have we.

But God had a plan. Jesus willingly gave himself up to die on a cross to save us from God's judgment and the death we deserve.

WIC5

On that cross, he exchanged our rebellion for his obedience. Our brokenness for his perfection.

The Son of God died so we could live.

And on the third day, he rose to life again, defeating death forever.

And now, he sits on the throne of heaven, offering life through the Holy Spirit to all those who repent and trust in him.

WIC6

What does it mean for us?

Jesus is the King of Kings.

You can either crown him or crucify him. There is no middle ground.

No one will ever ask you a more important question than the one Jesus asked:

Who do you say I am?

Planning your Visit

Welcome

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

We meet at the Church Building (details here) for our Sunday Service starting at 11:00am. You can come a little earlier to get some coffee and tea, and to meet some of our welcome team.

Parking: There is free on-street parking available along Varley Parade and nearby residential side streets on Sundays, though spaces can fill up quickly so we recommend aiming to arrive a few minutes early.

Public transport: We are just a short walk from the Sheaveshill Avenue bus stops (buses 32 and 142), a 15-minute walk from Hendon Magistrates Court bus stops (buses SL10, 83, 183, 32 and 142) and a 20-minute walk from Colindale Tube Station (Northern line, Edgware branch).

Accessibility: The main entrance is accessible, and our welcome team is on hand to help you get comfortably settled on arrival. Accessible toilet facilities are available on site.

Our Service

The main service begins at 11am with a warm welcome from one of our team members. Then follows a time of sung worship, led by our band. We typically have 3 or 4 songs lasting approximately 20 minutes. We will spend time sharing good news stories and praying together. We have a talk reflecting on a Bible passage and looking at what faith and following Jesus looks like today. We then have time worshipping and responding to God. We finish with notices, usually about what’s going on in the life of the church. After the service we share a simple lunch together and all are invited to stay and connect a bit more.

Growing together

We love to welcome people of all ages. Kids and young people are a key part of this! For the little ones, there are toys and crafts each week to help them engage in the service and someone from the team to help feel welcome. For older kids and youth, we also provide an interactive Church Notes template to help them connect with God and what's going on in the service. We join in with Mill Hill East Church for seasonal activities tailored for these age groups too, such as Kids Holiday Clubs and Youth events.
