A place to connect, belong and grow
St Paul's is much more than a place where we meet for worship on Sunday. Throughout the week, our building is full of people, activity, friendship and life.
We love being part of the Crawley community and are delighted to welcome people through our doors in many different ways. Whether you're joining one of our church groups, meeting friends at the café, bringing your children to an activity or attending a group that hires our rooms, there's always something happening at St Paul's.
A home for the community
We provide a welcoming space for a wide range of local groups and organisations who hire our rooms.
Our hirers offer a wonderful variety of activities for children, young people and adults, from regular groups and meetings to hobbies, interests and community activities.
We love seeing our rooms being used, friendships being formed and people from different parts of the community coming together.
St Paul's is a place where people can meet, discover new interests and feel part of something.
Loaves & Fishes Café
Looking for somewhere friendly to meet?
Our Loaves & Fishes Café is open Monday to Thursday during school term time, from 10:30am to 1:30pm.
It's a relaxed and welcoming place to enjoy affordable food, meet friends, have a chat or simply take some time out.
Everyone is welcome — whether you're part of St Paul's or have never been inside the church before.
Friendship and fellowship
Church life is about relationships as much as it is about worship.
Our Wednesday Fellowship meets every Wednesday from 10:45am to 12:00pm. It's a friendly and relaxed morning with Bible studies, games and quizzes, talks and discussions — with plenty of time for conversation and coffee too.
It's a great way to meet people, make friends and enjoy being part of the St Paul's community.
Children and young people
We want children and young people to know that St Paul's is a place where they belong.
Throughout the week there are opportunities to have fun, make friends, learn new skills and explore faith.
King's Kids meets during Sunday worship, with a crèche for babies and toddlers and groups for older children.
Our 1st Crawley Boys' Brigade & Girls' Association meets on Monday evenings, offering games, sport, crafts, outdoor activities and challenges for young people aged 5–18.
And on Fridays, our Young People's Singing Group (YSPG) welcomes children and young people aged 6–16 to sing, learn and enjoy being together.
St Paul's also provides a home for local Scouts and Guides, giving young people opportunities for friendship, adventure and personal development.
Faith in action
Being part of our community means looking beyond ourselves.
We seek to put our Christian faith into action by caring for others, supporting people in need and contributing to the life of Crawley and the wider world.
We support organisations including WaterAid and Action for Children, as well as looking for practical ways to make a positive difference in our local community.
Come and be part of it
There are lots of ways to connect with St Paul's.
You might come for worship, meet someone for coffee, bring your child to one of our activities, join a fellowship group, take part in a community activity or simply walk through our doors for the first time.
However you find us, we'd love to welcome you.
