Church on the Corner

Church on the Corner began in 1994 when a group of nine young people were sent out from All Saints Church Caledonian Road to plant a new church. Six months later they moved into the derelict King Edward VII pub at 64 Barnsbury Road, and started work building a new kind of church.

It is a church for people who maybe wouldn’t usually do church, existing because faith is has a place even in fast moving culture of Islington and central London. With an emphasis on biblical christianity, on culture, on social justice and on creativity & the arts there is something different about COTC.

13 years on Church on the Corner is at a new stage. Having completed a major building project we are re-imagining what it means to be church in the 21st Century. Inside and out new things are happening. Our Morning service has been relaunched, becoming our family and community service. New initiatives in preaching and worship in our evening service are giving it a fresh feel.

Come and see what we are up to, we would love to have you be a part of it.

“I found Church on the Corner by walking past each day… It seemed interesting, with big windows and young people inside, it looked creative and intriguing. At first by turning up late and sneaking out early I dipped my feet into what this place was about, gradually finding myself drawn to the building and the people within it, eventually to Jesus.
Whether you are a Christian or not, I reckon it’s a great place to come along to for warmth, friendship and sincere care, all qualities of a loving God. It’s a laugh and it’s real down to earth. I love it! It’s a pub and God is in it! Brilliant!” James G
