A Christian church looking for disciples all over south-west London has left its New Malden home this week.

South West Vineyard Church is moving to a new site in Putney to be closer to the location of its regularly Sunday meetings.

The church started in 1987, with a small group of people who gathered in the home of Wimbledon residents John and Eleanor Mumford.

The church’s current leader, Neil Woodward, said: “As the lease at the Vineyard Centre was due to expire it seemed to make sense to relocate our offices to somewhere closer to where we meet.

“Although the administrative offices are moving from New Malden we hope to develop the things we have seen flourish there over the years.”

On its website, the church claimed: “God has called us to establish a growing, regional, biblically based church in south-west London, which will in a creative and contemporary style, worship God and communicate the Gospel with compassion and mercy.

“Our aim is to make, train and equip disciples to be effective in extending God’s Kingdom, to develop leaders, to plant new churches and to contribute to the blessing of the whole body of Christ.”
