Our new pastor

We're delighted to announce that our new pastor will be Rev'd Dr Simon Berry. Simon will be licensed as minister-in-charge on Tuesday 2 March at 7.30pm. The service will be livestreamed - contact us for details. 

Simon recently completed his curacy at St Mark's Church, Peterborough. He trained for ordination at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford. Before theological college, Simon served as an apprentice at Moulton Parish Church, Northampton.

Simon said: “I am delighted to be coming to join you at St George’s. I am very encouraged by what I have seen of your commitment to the word of God, to one another, and to mission, and I hope that we can grow together in our love of God and discipleship of Christ in the years ahead. Please do keep praying for me and the rest of the leadership at St George’s through this time of transition and new beginnings.”

Online only from Sunday 10 January 2021

In the light of the very high rate of Covid cases in Barking and Dagenham, we have decided that, for the time being, we won't meet in person on a Sunday - we will only meet online.

To find out how to join us online on a Sunday, please contact us.

In the meantime, we will do all we can to support those who will really miss meeting in person, especially those who live alone or who are not on the Internet.
