Welcome to St John’s Stoke, Guildford

Welcome to St John's Stoke—a vibrant Evangelical Church of England community with a simple and compelling vision: life in all its fullness.

We believe that fullness of life is found in Jesus, and we’re passionate about helping people of all ages discover what that means in everyday life. Whether you’re exploring faith for the first time or have been part of a church for years, you are warmly welcome here.

Children, youth, students, and families are at the heart of our community. We’re committed to creating a place where everyone can belong, grow, and flourish—through worship that is joyful and grounded in the Bible, friendships that are genuine, and opportunities to serve our neighbourhood and beyond.

We have a HUGE day on Sunday 27th September as we welcome all students at our 10.30am worship followed by a student lunch South African Braai (like a BBQ) at 12.30pm. Come along for lots of free food! Student Alpha, led by Italia Conti Christian Union, also starts at 4pm on Sunday 27th September.

We look forward to meeting you very soon.

Sundays

at SJS - Services, Children and Youth Groups

Sunday is the main day of the week for us, and we just love to gather together as church family.

9am Morning Service

This is an informal service, though quieter and more structured than our later morning service, with Holy Communion twice a month. Refreshments are served after this service.

10:30am Morning Worship

with children and youth groups led by our Children's team and Lucy, our Youth Worker, this is the service many of our families with children attend. Informal, with band led worship for adults and children, this is a fun and energetic service with monthly Holy Communion. Come from 10am for refreshments!

5pm DEEP Evening Worship

This is our youth and adult service. It's an informal service with contemporary worship and an engaging talk followed by coffee for everyone and LED for the youth.
