Chiswick Parish Church

Worship at St Nicholas

All are welcome at St Nicholas – be they Christians of any denomination or none, followers of other faiths, or the simply curious.  All Communicant Christians are welcomed to receive Holy Communion and others are invited, if they so wish, to come to the altar for blessing. We welcome all as they make their life’s pilgrimage.

Since the Catholic revival in the Church of England in the 19th century, the pattern and style of worship, preaching and teaching of Chiswick Parish Church has stood firmly in that tradition. The main act of worship is the Sunday Eucharist at which we all gather to praise the Lord in words and music, to receive his help in Word and Sacrament and to meet each other. We aim to combine "treasures old and treasures new" in our church life.

Our Vicar, Fr Simon Brandes, presides at the Eucharist, but lay involvement in leading worship is very important to us and so members of the congregation read the lessons, lead intercessions, assist at the Communion and so on.  Above all, our worship is a collective act of the whole body of Christ.
