About us
Welcome to Saint Nectarios Orthodox Church in the heart of Battersea - we're so glad you found us!
Led by the charismatic Father Christodoulos and assisted by Father Stephen, our church is a vibrant place of worship that brings together Orthodox Christians of all backgrounds. Our congregation warmly welcomes everyone into our community wherever they are from and thrives on fostering a sense of belonging and togetherness; we believe faith is a journey best taken alongside friends.
​
Here you will find a bustling hub alive with activities, events, and gatherings that will inspire and uplift your spirit. Our Sunday services are conducted in English and Greek, with scripture readings in both languages and a sermon preached in English as well as prayers in various languages including Romanian, Slavonic and Arabic, reflecting the diversity of our community. Saturday morning Liturgies are generally conducted in English, with a Romanian-language service on the 1st Saturday of each month.
​
Every Tuesday evening from 7pm we hold a Supplication service to St Nectarios or to the Mother of God, followed by a spiritual talk - sometimes also captured on our Spotify podcast here, for those unable to make it on the night.
​
Our parish is part of the Archdiocese of Thyateira and Great Britain, under the leadership of our Archbishop, His Eminence Archbishop Nikitas. Our Archdiocese is part of the worldwide Orthodox Church, sitting within the ancient Patriarchate of Constantinople. Our community is made up of worshipers from all Orthodox backgrounds, as well as those new to the faith.
​
Whether you're a long-time believer or just curious about Orthodoxy, you'll find our doors open wide and a loving and accepting atmosphere inside.
​
We would love you to come along and explore the depths of Orthodox Christianity, its traditions, teachings and history. Join us, and let's embark on a fulfilling spiritual adventure together.
