At
Lea Valley Church we aim to serve and reach the community through the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Lea Valley Church has been in Waltham Abbey forr over 50 years and has been involved in areas of the community during that time.
 
Apart from holding Sunday service at our nelwy refurbished church building in the heart of the Town Center (Monkswood Avenue), throughout the week there are other regular events and ministries taking part throughout the area (click here to see upcoming events)
 
Regular meetings include:




  • Lea Valley Youth

     

     

    Lea Valley Church understands that it's todays youth that will be tomorrows great leaders.  Our vision is to see the youth and young adults of Lea Valley Church discover their God given talents and run with God given purpose in the quest to see God's name lifted high!

     

    We believe that now is our time to make God famous... to allow God to be seen in our lives and for our Godly lives to make a difference and to be an impact on those around us. 


    We invite all those with this passion to tie up your laces and join us in running this unforgetable race.

    Corporate Prayer

     

     

    Each Friday evening we meet to worship and pray corporately.  It has been said that prayer does not fit us for the greater work - prayer IS the greater work.  We pray together because the needs of our nation and those who live here are many and too great for our good ideas alone.  We need to meet God in our prayers - corporately seeking Him until the life blood that flows from such communion, finds it's way into every strategy and every praying heart. 

    A time to unite and agree as a community as we petition the Lord.  Please join us.


    When:

    Every Friday: 20.00 - 21.30

    Where:

     Lea Valley Church, Monkswood Avenue, Waltham Abbey

    (Junction with Crooked Mile/ Sewardstone Road, Marked with the '+')
