“Ẹ jẹ́ kí ọ̀rọ̀ Kristi máa gbé inú yín lọpọlọpọ…” (Kólósè 3:16). “Eniyan ki yoo wa laaye nipa akara nikan…” (Matteu 4: 4). Àwọn ẹsẹ wọ̀nyí rán wa létí pé Ìwé Mímọ́ kì í ṣe ojúṣe lásán; ounje ni.

“Maṣe mu ọti-waini mu… ṣugbọn ki ẹ kun fun Ẹmi” (Efesu 5:18). “Ẹ ó sì gba agbára nígbà tí Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ bá bà lé yín…” (Ìṣe 1:8).

“Ẹ ni inu ọkan yii laarin ara yin… ẹni ti o sọ ara rẹ di ofo…” (Filippi 2:5–8). “Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá fẹ́ jẹ́ àkọ́kọ́ gbọ́dọ̀ jẹ́ ẹrú gbogbo ènìyàn” (Máàkù 10:43–45).

Church on Sunday at Strodes College, Egham


 Prophetic word for students -

Our Sunday service starts at 11:00 a.m. and typically lasts about 90 minutes.

We begin each service with lively worship, featuring songs from around the world, followed by inspiring, Bible-based teaching. All our sermons are recorded and are available as a podcast after the service.

We have a monthly cycle of Sunday services, with our Communion Service being on the first Sunday of each month and an All-Age All-Nation Service on the second Sunday of each month. Our other Sunday services include Spirit-focused and teaching services.

We have consciously adopted being a blended church, that is, both online and face-to-face. You are welcome to join us on Livestream or via Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, or X (Twitter), or you can catch up and watch the recordings later.
 

Joining us in person

Visiting a new and unfamiliar church for the first time can be intimidating, but we want to ensure you feel welcome and enjoy your time with us. A friendly face will be waiting to meet you at the entrance and welcome you. 

Doors open at 10:30 a.m. for coffee and prayer. Our Sunday Service starts at 11:00 a.m. and typically runs for about 90 minutes, normally followed by tea and coffee.
 

Driving and Car Parking

Our Sunday Morning Service is now held at Strodes College, Strodes College Lane, Egham, TW20 9DR, which has ample parking. Click on the link for directions to RCF.

We have plenty of parking spaces right outside the building. Spaces are reserved near the entrance for anyone with mobility issues (those with a blue badge). Please let us know if you need to use one of these spaces, have any special needs, or require any assistance.

The car parking area is a public area, so please ensure that your children are under your control and that, for their safety, they do not run around in the car park.
 

Visiting with children?

Everyone is welcome at RCF. We encourage everyone, regardless of age, to join the service. We offer Sunday School, which begins after worship and runs concurrently with the sermon for 30 to 40 minutes, serving children aged 4 to 12. On the second Sunday of each month, we have a shorter All-Aged All Nations Service, where the children stay for the worship and the sermon.
 

After Church

We chat over coffee and biscuits after church on the first, third, fourth and fifth Sundays. If you want to get more acquainted, why not join us for a Sunday lunch with some of our members? The first meal is on us (Voucher provided).  Please contact us and let us know. We would love to share a meal and get to know you better!
