Welcome

We are the Church of England parish church for the Barbican, Golden Lane, Old Street, and Moorgate.

But we think of ourselves as a little country church, in the City of London.

No matter where you live or what your story, you are welcome here.

The Church is open all day, every day, for prayer.
Thursdays and Saturdays can have shorter opening hours.

Join us for worship, community, and a sanctuary of silence.

The Church is open all day, every day, for daily services, prayer, and a whole host of community events, concerts, and art exhibitions throughout the year, in the heart of London.

We are all asking questions about life. It’s not about grabbing easy answers. It’s about working it out together.

We know that lots of people haven’t found church a helpful place — we want to change that.

So, whoever you are, join us on the journey.

We believe that life is an adventure to be embraced together:

Us and God.
