Welcome to the
Parish of St Mary and Christ Church, Hendon

Christians have been worshipping in Hendon for over 1000 years. Today Hendon is a busy and diverse North London suburb, in which we try to lead lives shaped by the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Week by week, and day by day, we meet to worship in our two churches: St Mary’s, on Church End at the top of Greyhound Hill, and Christ Church, Brent Street.

Open Church has resumed: on Tuesdays and Thursdays 12.00-14.00 you are welcome to visit to pause, reflect or pray.
 
Holy Communion will be celebrated at 09.30 on Sundays at St Mary's (Church End) at at 11.30 at Christ Church (Brent Street). 
 
Sung Evensong is at 18.30 on Sundays at St Mary's.
 
We look forward to welcoming you as you reflect and pray in this peaceful place in the near future.

Safeguarding: At St Mary & Christ Church Hendon, we believe that every person has a value and dignity because we are created in God’s own image and likeness. This is fully realised in the person of Jesus Christ. This implies a duty to value all people as bearing the image of God and therefore to protect them from harm. Safeguarding arrangments can be found here.
