The Advent star remains lit during Advent and Christmas as a sign to all that we are celebrating the birth of Jesus - light of the world. It can be clearly seen from various vantage points in West Byfleet, but especially from the A245

If you are new to the area and are looking for a church to worship in regularly or just occasionally, you will be assured of a very warm welcome at St John's. Our congregation includes people of all ages and backgrounds who enjoy meeting for worship and socialising afterwards. If you have not been to church for some time, don't worry - our Stewards will find a place for you and help you through the service.

*****
Many people know where St John's Church is located (the A245 between Cobham and Woking) but not so many take the time to visit. Those who do are often surprised at both the simplicity and beauty of the architecture. If you have the time, do spend a few moments inside the church - it is open daily from 9 am - 5 pm.
