Sunday Services at Oak Tree, Acton, West London

Our services are at 4:30pm every Sunday at:

Twyford Church of England High School,

Twyford Crescent,

London W3.

Sunday is when the whole of Oak Tree worship God together as a ‘family’. It is also a time when we are encouraged to hear how God is working in and through our lives and the world around us. Services are a blend of contemporary music, informal interaction, contemplative moments and challenging teaching from the Bible. At least once a month we share in Holy Communion and there is always an opportunity for individuals to be prayed with.  

The children are an important part of the Oak Tree ‘family’ - they are the Church of Tomorrow, Today. For part of each Sunday the 3-10+’s participate in their own programme of worship and teaching (Kidz Club) and we have a creche in operation for 0-2’s.  More info on the Childrens Church page.

Through our worship together we aim to grow in relationship with God and with one another, learning to become disciples of Jesus and a true community of God’s people in this part of London.

We look forward to seeing you at Oak Tree soon.

Oak Tree Policy on Admitting Children to Communion

The ACC decided in principle to admit *children to Communion in July.

But the ACC also wanted to keep a balance between admitting children from baptism (the only true membership of the church) and a need for understanding and teaching on the subject.

We also have to follow regulations of the Church of England on this issue.

Our policy is therefore:

1. Baptism is a pre-requisite
2. Baptised children will be allowed to receive communion at whatever age their parents feel that they are ready to do so. In other words when the parents feel that their children have appropriate understanding and spiritual awareness of what they are participating in.
3. In such a situation, the parents will be asked to administer the sacrament. Parents giving their children communion should be baptised and receiving communion themselves. If not, they should be encouraged to do so first.
4. There will therefore be no set age for first communion, it will vary from child to child. It may still be the point of confirmation if so wished by the individual and their parents.
5. If there are children who come to church without their parents then the Children’s Worker and Vicar will make a decision as to when the child is ready to receive, once appropriate enquiries have been made to parents/guardians.
6. Both adults and children will also have teaching on Holy Communion at appropriate times.
7. Oak Tree Anglican Fellowship will encourage confirmation for young people in partnership with parents and on an individual basis.
8. We will have a policy of one designated alcohol free chalice.
