True Jesus Church

Have you heard about the True Jesus Church? Right here in London, you’ll find a branch of this fascinating church. It’s a relatively young church, established in 1917 in Beijing, China. What makes it interesting is its rapid global expansion. The True Jesus Church in London was established much later, reflecting the city’s multicultural history. In the late 1950s, the first gatherings of True Jesus Church members began in London. By 1966, regular services were being held on Saturdays and Friday nights. Imagine moving between different locations in London just to observe the Sabbath. From Chiswick to Bounds Green and Holloway, these early members persevered. Finally, in 1981, the idea of having their own church building gained momentum. With contributions from members, even as far away as Edinburgh, the True Jesus Church acquired a former Salvation Army building on Pitfield Street in 1982. This marked a significant milestone for the community. Years later, as the congregation grew, the church acquired a five-story building on Old Street. This new location, dedicated in 1997, reflects the church’s growth and its place in London’s multicultural tapestry.
