The Courtyard Garden flourishes!
When the Courtyard gates are open, visitors are very welcome to come and sit a while and enjoy the peace and quiet alongside the resident robin, a family of mice and of course plethora of insect life that our garden attracts.

We hope that you find what you need when looking around our website. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
How would I describe St Barnabas Church? A place of encouragement and service. A genuinely friendly and welcoming community where people can be as involved as they feel called to be. Women and men play an active part in all aspects of parish life.
We are fortunate to have an Assistant Curate in the parish. The Revd Theodora Jejey, who is currently completing the final stages of her training, has been with us since June 2022.
There are a small number of families with children in the congregation, and they take part in various aspects in the service on Sundays. We have a wonderful parish primary school which welcomes children of all faiths and of none.
Whilst the word 'inclusive' can be used in different ways and for different reasons, I would say we are 'inclusive' because Jesus calls us to welcome everybody. We are a dog friendly parish too! A number of the congregation bring their dogs to services on a regular basis.
Feel free to contact me directly by phone, or email, if you would like to know more about parish life or faith matters.

- Welcome -Welcome to St Barnabas Church, off Pimlico Road (between Victoria Coach Station and Sloane Square). contact details and map here
St Barnabas Church is an Anglican Church which is welcoming to all: come and join us! We have a number of services and events each week. We are a small (and growing) inclusive church community. Our parish has been ‘serving and encouraging’ people living, working and passing through the area since 1850. It is a beautiful Grade 1 listed church - and well worth a visit. We are actively involved in our parish school and with the local and wider community. Our Parish Priest (Priest-in-Charge / like a Vicar), Fr John Pearson-Hicks joined St Barnabas in September 2015 and became the ‘full-time’ parish priest (Sept 2017). This has enabled the church to be open to visitors more regularly (Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays) and for us to be able to increase the number of services and activities which are open to all. This is a parish which seeks to serve and encourage all God's people. If you would like to find out more about baptisms, weddings, and funerals or if you would just like to have a conversation about what we are doing, please contact Fr John directly john.pearson-hicks@london.anglican.org to arrange a time to talk.

St Barnabas has been in receipt of a Covid Recovery Fund which went towards the costs of keeping the parish church 'operational' (March-October 2021). This included things like covering the costs of our insurance, some of our bills and things like the "kneeler kits" to encourage volunteers. Some of this can be seen on Wednesday afternoons - St Barnabas Sewing Bees. It has also paid for a new Church History Brochure (Church Guide) which is available in church. Copies can be posted. Weekly activities usually include:
School Service There is a school service most Wednesdays at 9am in Church Barnabas Sewing Bees buzzing on Wednesdays 2-4pm in church A social gathering of knitters, stitchers and sewers - Anyone welcome T@3 Thursdays 3pm-5pm in church Compline / Night Prayer Thursdays at 8:30pm in church and online Monthly Bible Study Group - Meets on the first Tuesday of the month Peace-filled Environmental Courtyard - When the gates are open please feel to drop in, sit awhile, smell the flowers, even eat your lunch |
