ABOUT
Beacon is a growing, diverse church, gathering people from all groups of society and from all over south central London. It currently has community groups in Tulse Hill, West Dulwich and Brixton. We are involved with a number of initiatives including CAP and Foodbank which we run in conjunction with Churches Together Brixton and Stockwell.
Our mission as a church revolves around three key themes.
A centre of grace in the heart of the community
A church family
A resource church
