Dave and Julia Food - Senior Leaders		Simon and Yasmin Chaffer - Preaching and Teaching
Dave has a real passion for seeing the Church fulfil its destiny; the Church is made up of people who also need to step into their God-given calling, filled with the spirit they can do immeasurably more. Dave has led the Church at RCF since 1994, through many different seasons; he enjoys the multi-dimensional Church that RCF is now becoming as we reach the world from where we are. Dave has led the church, been very active in the marketplace, and been prophetic wherever he has been. Dave enjoys walking the dog Teddy and getting out into the fresh air daily, often walking in the Kings Great Park and seeing the wonder of God's creation. Dave is a passionate networker who loves to see people connect to God and one another and fulfil their destinies. Julia has a heart for people and those who need compassion; she loves gardening, cooking and grandchildren. Julia trained as a social worker at the University of Bath and qualified in 1987. She spent the next ten years working in child protection and child care for a local authority, where she worked extensively with education, health services, and the police, caring for children at risk or in the local authority's care.		Simon and Yasmin are on our senior leadership team. Simon is a Yorkshireman who is ready to pray and willing to preach God's Rhema (now) word to us, sharing God's heart in pragmatic and realistic ways. Yasmin shares the Word of God with us, showing us God's caring heart and sensitively showing us how God wants to relate to us in our lives and our world.

Leticia Hermoso - Ladies Group and Latin Group		Juliet Najja - Encouragement and Prayer
Lety is on our senior leadership team, bringing many years of wisdom and insight. Leticia is originally from Mexico and leads our Spanish (Latin) Group. She has a heart for prayer and loves building vital relationships. She also heads up our growing Women's ministry, which empowers and enables the ladies in our Arise and Shine Group.		Juliet is originally from Uganda, is passionate about prayer, and leads our Friday night prayer initiative; she loves to encourage us to share the gospel with others, being active in evangelism. She also leads one of our critical mission partners, Abba Fathers House (an orphanage based in Jinja, Uganda), which ministers to Widows and Orphans in the Lake Victoria region of Uganda.

Planning your Visit

Welcome to Runnymede Christian Fellowship, an Egham Church

Runnymede Christian Fellowship is a church based in Egham but serving a much larger geographical area. Those who call us home come from Egham, Virginia Water, Staines, Englefield Green, Egham Hythe, Pooley Green, Maidenhead, Heathrow, Slough, Ashford, Thorpe, Windsor, Woking and beyond.

Our church is a community of believers who regularly meet to share life and show God's love. We do this by encouraging and serving each other and the community. We believe in the power of prayer and are always happy to pray for you.

Church - What to expect

Our Sunday service is available to stream online at 11:00 a.m. You can join us on Livestream or via Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube or X (Twitter).

The Sunday Service is now held at Strodes College, Strodes College Lane in Egham open to all, so if you would like to join us, please feel free to do so. If you have any questions, please call us on 01784 637010.

We run a physical Sunday School most weeks. If you would like your children to receive a weekly Sunday School teaching pack that you can do from home, please email us at admin@e-runnymede.co.uk so that we can send you the materials.

Church on Sunday at Strodes College, Egham

Our Sunday service starts at 11:00 a.m. and typically lasts about 90 minutes.

We start each service with lively worship with songs from around the world, followed by inspired Bible-based teaching. All our sermons are recorded and are available as a podcast after the service.

We have a monthly cycle of Sunday services, with our Communion Service being on the first Sunday of each month and an All-Age All-Nation Service on the second Sunday of each month. Our other Sunday services include Spirit-focused and teaching services.

We have consciously adopted being a blended church that is both for those online and face-to-face. You are welcome to join us on Livestream or via Facebook, Linkedin, YouTube, or X (Twitter), or you can catch up and watch the recordings later.

Joining us in person

Visiting a new and unfamiliar church for the first time can be intimidating, but we want to ensure you feel welcome and enjoy your time with us. A friendly face will be waiting to meet you at the entrance and welcome you.

Doors open at 10:30 a.m. for coffee and prayer. Our Sunday Service starts at 11:00 a.m. and typically runs for about 90 minutes, normally followed by tea and coffee.

Driving and Car Parking

Our Sunday Morning Service is now held at Strodes College, Strodes College Lane, Egham, TW20 9DR, which has plenty of Parking. Click on the link for directions to RCF.

We have plenty of parking spaces right outside the building. Spaces are reserved near the entrance for anyone with mobility problems (for those with a blue badge). Please let us know if you need to use one of these spaces, have any special needs, or require any assistance.

The car parking area is a public area, so please ensure that your children are under your control and that, for their safety, they do not run around in the car park.

Visiting with children?

Everyone is welcome at RCF. We encourage everyone, young and old, to join the service. We have Sunday School, which starts after worship and runs during the sermon for 30 to 40 minutes for children aged 4 to 12. On the second Sunday of each month, we have a shorter All-Aged All Nations Service, where the children stay for the worship and the sermon.

After Church

We chat over coffee and biscuits after church on the first, third and fourth Sundays. If you want to get more acquainted, why not join us for a Sunday lunch with some of our members? The meal is on us! Please contact us and let us know. We would love to share a meal and get to know you better!
