Intro
Sabaoth Church London is a new church in South London, part of a family of more than seventy churches across twelve nations. We gather every Sunday at 11am, and we are led by Valerio and Fiorella Angioli, who moved here from Italy with their three sons to start it.
Whatever you believe this morning, whether you have been in church your whole life or have never set foot in one, there is a seat for you and nothing is expected of you.
Your first Sunday
How the morning goes
All our events-
01
Arrive at 10.30am
Coffee is on before anything else happens, and someone at the door will be looking out for you. Tell them it is your first time: it is the easiest sentence you will say all week.
-
02
The service, 11am
About ninety minutes. Live worship, a message from the Bible, and prayer at the end for anyone who wants it.
-
03
Your kids are sorted
Kids Ministry runs at the same time, with a trained team and their own teaching. You can stay with your child as long as you both need.
-
04
Stay for coffee
Nobody will corner you and nobody will ask you for anything. If you want to meet a pastor, we will introduce you.
Sundays

Doors and coffee from 10.30am

read than ask
The whole blog
Everything filed under I’m new: short pieces written for the first week, not the tenth year.
Doors and coffee open at 10.30am and the service starts at 11am, so half an hour early gives you time to get a drink and find a seat without rushing. If you would rather slip in once it has started, that is completely fine too.
Whatever you already own. Jeans and trainers are the norm, some people dress up because they enjoy it, and nobody is keeping score.
Yes. Kids Ministry runs at the same time as the service, from walking age to Year 6, with age groups, Bible stories, games and music. Every leader is DBS-checked and safeguarding-trained, and there is sign-in and sign-out every week. Babies and toddlers are welcome to stay with you in the main room. Older children and teenagers have their own groups: every generation is split into four bands.
Around 25 minutes of live worship, a message from the Bible you can use on Monday, and prayer at the end for anyone who wants it. The whole thing lasts about ninety minutes, and nobody gets put on the spot.
English. This church was planted from Italy, so you will hear Italian in the room too, along with a dozen other languages. If English is new to you, our free English Conversation group was built for exactly that.
No. Giving is for people who call this church home, and there is no collection aimed at guests. If you ever do want to give, it is all explained on the giving page.
Yes, genuinely. Doubt is not a problem here and questions are not a threat. You can sit at the back, say nothing, and come back as many times as you like.
Start with a Sunday. After that, a Lifegroup on a Wednesday evening is where people actually get to know each other, and you can always book a coffee with one of our pastors and ask anything you like.
Come this Sunday
There is nothing to book and nobody to tell. Turn up at 10.30am, take a coffee, and someone will find you. If you would rather meet a pastor first, that is easy too.
