We are a lively international blended church, prophetic in action, apostolic in nature and with an established network of relationships worldwide. These relationships cause us to develop ourselves and the wider church in general but also facilitate missional opportunities and developmental possibilities for individuals and teams.



lifelinks-international

We belong to Lifelinks International, a relationally based family of churches with a broad Statement of Faith that 
focuses on Christianity's essentials rather than areas of controversy. We believe a healthy relational foundation allows people with minor doctrinal differences to work well together in advancing God’s Kingdom.

Because of our focus on building strong relationships, members of the LifeLinks family always have support in moments of difficulty or someone to celebrate with during victorious times.

LifeLinks input into a congregation is always in response to the local church leadership's invitation and respects the autonomy of that fellowship. Those giving apostolic oversight to a local church are also available for consultation both to the leaders and congregational members, thereby providing a high level of relational accountability.


fivestonesimpact

We are affiliated with Five Stones Impact as we seek to be ready to plant Churches around the world, leveraging our connections and our digital capability.

Five Stones Impact is a global church planting organization committed to making disciples around the world.  Bound together through relationship, we are excited to establish New Testament Churches and to creatively deliver the gospel as required by each planting situation.  With so much turmoil in our days, there is great urgency to expand God's kingdom through the power and wisdom of the Holy Spirit.



evangelical-alliance

We are part of the Evangelical Alliance and as such:

We Affirm
We welcome as Christian brothers and sisters all who experience the grace of new birth, bringing them to the fear and knowledge of God expressed in a life of obedience to His word.

We recognise our Christian duty of trust and mutual encouragement to all who serve Christ as Lord, not least to those who conscientiously prefer not to be identified with the same churches, alliances or councils as ourselves.

We respect the diversity of culture, experience and doctrinal understanding that God grants to His people and acknowledge that some differences over issues not essential to salvation may well remain until the end of time.

We Encourage
We urge all Christians to pray as Christ prayed, that we may be one in the Father and the Son, and so by the Spirit promote personal relationships of love, peace and fellowship within the Body of Christ, His universal church.

We encourage all Christians to earnestly contend for biblical truth since only as we are open to learn from others and yield fuller obedience to the truth will we be drawn closer to Christ and each other.

We call on each other when speaking or writing of those issues of faith or practise that divide us, to acknowledge our own failings and the possibility that we ourselves may be mistaken, avoiding personal hostility and abuse, and speaking the truth in love and gentleness.

In making public comment on the alleged statements of our fellow Christians, we owe it to each other, first to confer directly with them and establish what was actually intended. To commend what we can, weigh the proportional significance of what we perceive to be in error, and put a charitable construction on what is doubtful, expressing all with courtesy, humility, and graciousness.

We rejoice in the spread of the gospel across the world and urge all Christians to commit themselves to this task, avoiding unnecessary competition and cooperating, wherever possible, in the completion of Christ’s kingdom of peace, justice and holiness, to the glory of the one God — Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We are a Pentecostal Church associated with the Assemblies of God.
The Assemblies of God comprises over 500 churches in 700 locations throughout Great Britain. We are a Pentecostal movement that believes that every individual can and should have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and have the opportunity to be part of a local, vibrant church. We seek to empower local churches that are relevant to people of all ages - many of our churches attract many young people. In our local expression of church and our corporate identity as a whole, we are committed to transforming communities by reaching out to all individuals regardless of age, race or gender.

Looking Ahead
The movement's current leadership have begun a radical transformation to make it more relevant and effective in the 21st century.

Assemblies of God are in the process of denominational transformation!

This is an exciting journey. It does, however, require the leadership to bite the bullet on a number of important challenges facing the Church today. Please pray for us as we do just that!

Our journey will enable us to see a new day where church growth will be accelerated, local churches repurposed for mission, and an increased relational dimension enjoyed by all our leaders.

The Assemblies of God seek to become a relevant and powerful expression of the Church to the community. The Fellowship recognises the Universal Church's importance and sees its development in this context.
 



Covering and accountability

CF


We look to Dr Clem Ferris for our covering and oversight.
Clem Ferris travels full-time in ministry and missions from his home base, Grace Church, in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. He holds a B.A. from Michigan State University and an M.A. and Th.D. from Jacksonville Theological Seminary. He and his wife, Mary Jane, have four children and three grandchildren.

For over 25 years, he has travelled nationally and internationally, equipping believers through a strong combination of teaching and prophetic ministry. Currently, he serves on the oversight teams of ten churches, including Grace Church. Clem also serves on the Board of Grace College of Divinity and is affiliated with mPact Churches.

Clem continues to cross-pollinate among a variety of churches and apostolic streams. He has ministered in over 35 foreign nations and carries a particular burden for the United Kingdom and Ireland. Part of Clem’s calling is to be a runner between networks and to pioneer prophetic ministry into new spheres and regions.

Planning your Visit

Welcome to Runnymede Christian Fellowship, an Egham Church


welcome 

Runnymede Christian Fellowship is a church that, although based physically in Egham, serves a much larger geographical location. We have members who come from Egham, Virginia Water, Staines, Windsor, Englefield Green, Egham Hythe, Pooley Green, Heathrow, Thorpe and beyond.

Our church is a community of believers who regularly meet together to share life and show God's love. We do this by encouraging and serving each other and the community. We are a church that believes in the power of prayer, and we 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 Twitter.

The church at Virginia Lodge in Egham is open, 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, or 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 Virginia Lodge


welcome 2

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 are open from 10:30 a.m. Our Sunday Service starts at 11:00 am and typically runs for about 90 minutes, sometimes followed by tea and coffee.
 

Driving and Car Parking

Our address is Waspe Farm Car Park, England TW20 9LF. 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 5 to 13. 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 cake after church on the second 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!
