Welcome…

…to St John’s. We are a lively church (in a huge building!) in the city of Chelmsford.

Our vision is to “Love, Grow, Serve” – we want to love God, each other and the world around us, grow as followers of Jesus, and to serve our community.

Feel free to explore and see what’s what, and then come and join in!
