We believe in the authority of the Christian Scriptures and hold to the essential Christian beliefs as expressed in the Nicene Creed. All Christian traditions – Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant – have agreed upon this statement of faith from 325AD. We are a member of the Evangelical Alliance’s, and love their statements of faith set out at the foot of this page.
James serves as lead elder and works full-time for the church. After moving to West London in 1996, he started to lay the foundations for church leadership by finding a fantastic wife in Lucy and developing a robust humour and steadfast smile. They have four children and one God.
Stefan serves as an elder at Crown and also works as a University Lecturer. If you’ve not been to Crown Church yet, it’s worth it just to meet Stefan and his wife, Jackie. They serve as Life Group overseers and in many other areas of the church. Maybe one day you too can enjoy their cooking, a smooth fusion of South Africa and Jamaica.
Dan, Anna and their three children love being part of Crown Church and lead one of our Life Groups. Anna serves in the kids and youth team and Dan has been on staff at Crown since Jan 2011. He serves as an elder at Crown, and among other things, he leads our Worship Bands.

Andy and Rachel are on the core team that support Life Groups in the north of the borough. Andy also serves as an elder, regularly hosting meetings and preaching. Rachel is an integral leader within Crown Kids.
Amiola is our apprentice youth worker. If you want to find her she’s probably somewhere bugging a young person.
Colette is our brilliant Office Manager, “I love having a cup of coffee while chatting to a friend, but having a cuppa while chatting with my children, is priceless.”
Launched in 2002, we have grown into a vibrant church made up of many different nationalities and ages. Situated in the London Borough of Hillingdon, we love to gather locals as well as many from Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and neighbouring boroughs.
We have a community facility called The Living Room in Cowley, Uxbridge, not far from the Brunel University campus. Our offices are based here, and many of our mid-week ministries and courses, as well as our evening prayer meetings, take place here. Our Sunday service is hosted at Bishopshalt School, located close to Hillingdon Hospital.
We believe our story isn’t done yet. We want to continue to grow so that everyone in Hillingdon and surrounding areas can learn about Jesus and enjoy following him alongside others.
Our Mission: “Crown Church exists so that many together may glorify God and enjoy Him forever.”
Below are our values, things that we currently see in Crown Church and want to grow in:
Crown Church is part of Newfrontiers, a worldwide family of churches together on a mission.
Newfrontiers has a passionate commitment to build the church according to New Testament principles, and believes that the most effective form of evangelism is worked out from strong local churches, of which we are approaching 1500 worldwide.
These are churches where the Bible is honoured, the gifts of the Holy Spirit are outworked, each member participates, there is joy in caring for each other, and where there is a desire to make a difference in society and reach those in need.
Our aim is to achieve this by restoring the Church, making disciples, training leaders, planting churches and reaching the nations.
Part of Newfrontiers, New Ground is a family of churches across Europe, Brazil and Southern Africa, led by David Holden and a core team.
We believe that God has called us to play our part in His great mission by partnering with others to see many churches planted across the world and to see communities transformed by the love of Jesus.
Leaders in Crown regularly attend New Ground prayer days and conferences, helping us to keep our eyes on the bigger picture. New Ground leaders also regularly travel over to support and challenge us.
We have a comprehensive Safeguarding Policy (linked here). If you would like to raise any safeguarding concerns then please contact our Safeguarding Officer, Pauline Housen via safeguarding@crown-church.org.uk
