Welcome
Welcome from Fr Michael
We are a warm, welcoming, inclusive church family where everyone can be themselves.
The ancient church of St. John the Baptist has been a Christian presence in Old Malden for over a thousand years.
Our worship is relaxed and traditional. Our theology is open and inclusive, viewing the wealth of scripture through the lens of the love of Jesus Christ.
We seek to be a spiritual home for all ages and to nurture everyone's own unique journey of faith.
Everyone is welcome here!
The Revd Fr Michael Roper
Join us each week as we gather for worship, prayer, and community.
Our services blend tradition and warmth, with music, teaching, and space for reflection.
Everyone is welcome — whether you’re exploring faith for the first time or have been part of church life for many years.
