KidsClub
KidsClub is an inclusive youth club held every Friday at 6:30pm in the church hall, welcoming young people aged 3 to 20.
It’s a space where everyone can come together to socialise, play games, and have fun in a relaxed and supportive environment.
We also host exciting events throughout the year, creating opportunities for connection and community. KidsClub is open to all, regardless of age or faith, and we encourage everyone to come as they are and simply enjoy being part of this vibrant group !
Praise Clinic
Experience the power of praise and worship at the Praise Clinic, held
every second Saturday of the month at 6pm.
Join us for an uplifting time of music, prayer, and connection with God, led by Pastor Tayo.
This special time offers an opportunity to connect deeply with God, offering our gratitude and adoration through song and prayer. Praise and worship serve as an essential part of our spiritual journey, drawing us closer to God and strengthening our faith.
Football & Focus
Football and Focus is an exciting group for young people aged 9+ who want to stay active and share their thoughts in a relaxed, familiar environment!
Every Wednesday at 5:30pm, the team—Peckham Baptist United—meets for a lively football session, led by Sunny Ighorae.
After the match, the group comes together to chat about life, current issues, and whatever's on their minds, often while enjoying some chicken and chips.
It’s the perfect opportunity to have fun, stay fit, and connect with others in a supportive and friendly space!

God is at the centre of everything we do.

Our services include professional training courses (in-person and online), mentorship, and advisory services. We run a weekly day center where women can participate in creative and wellbeing activities, come out of isolation and meet new people, or simply enjoy some ‘ME’ time."
