St Michael's Church Sheerwater 

 St Michael’s is a shared Anglican and Methodist church situated in Sheerwater, one of the most deprived estates in Surrey. It is under a Bishop’s Mission Order which gives special emphasis and support for undertaking mission to develop a distinctive Christian community.

Sheerwater is currently undergoing a large regeneration project, rebuilding social housing and other community facilities, including a new community facility in which St Michael’s church will be housed. Whilst this is exciting, it is very disruptive to many local residents, some of whom have had to move out of their properties which are being knocked down and redeveloped. This has affected St Michael’s who have lost many of their congregation to moves out of the area.

St Michael’s is a small, but growing church, very involved in the local community with groups such as:

• Pop-up café for primary children with tea, games, crafts and a bible story
• A Start course which like Alpha is a Christianity basics course, attended by young mums
• A monthly community Sunday lunch for the elderly and isolated
