You are most welcome to join us!



About Us - Overview

The Crown Church was launched on Easter Sunday 2002, and was initially made up of about 20 people from Kings Church Harrow who lived in the Borough of Hillingdon. Just before this, Pete Cornford moved up with his family from the Beacon Church in Camberley to lead the church.

The church has grown quickly with currently around 200 people gathering on a Sunday morning. We are made up of young and older people who are from many different backgrounds and countries.

We are registered as a charitable company (Charity No. 1095028), and are part of a family of churches called Newfrontiers and members of the Willow Creek Association and the Evangelical Alliance.



About Us - Our Vision

We believe God is real and active in the world, and that we can have a personal relationship with him through Jesus Christ. We want people to grow in this relationship and so meet on Sundays and during the week in small groups throughout Hillingdon Borough and beyond, and our vision is to serve the people living here.

We will be a church that:

What's Happening - Cell Groups

We meet during the week in small groups called ‘cells' across the Borough of Hillingdon and beyond.

These groups are open to everyone, and we believe they are an integral part of church life – where we develop relationships, get to know God better and impact the communities in which we live.

Our desire is to see these groups grow and multiply – currently we have 20 groups across the Borough including:

Our cells meet on various days of the week, from Tuesdays through to Fridays.

We also have a Deaf (BSL) Cell, a Youth Cell and a Daytime Cell.

Alpha is a course that has been running for years in various places all over the world, including churches, prisons, business settings and schools. It is a versatile
discussion-based course and provides the perfect setting to find out more about Christianity. It is a non-threatening, relaxed environment where you can ask all those questions you've always wanted to about life, the universe and everything! And, hopefully, you may even get some answers!

The Alpha Course runs for 10 weeks and each evening includes a meal, a short talk and then small groups to discuss what has been talked about.

The next Alpha course begins on Monday 21st January 2007
The course will be held at The Crown Church Office, Cedar House, Vine Lane, Uxbridge, UB10 0BX.

What's Happening - Students & 20's

‘In View' is the Students and Twenties group at the Crown. We have over 50 students and twenties from both Brunel University and London School of Theology.

In View's vision is based around the following verses:

Romans 12:1
“Therefore, I urge you, brothers, IN VIEW of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices , holy and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship.” 

Matthew 5:14-16
“You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your father in heaven.”

We are aiming to be Students who are living their lives for God and being an example to those around them, so that we might honour him and bring glory to his name.



What's Happening - Youth

CEDAR exist to REACH and CONNECT young people then ENCOURAGE them to DISCOVER their role in the church and have their lives reflect how much they ADORE God.

Cedar meets Fridays 8pm at Cedar House
