The Benefice of South Croydon, St Peter and St Augustine is a member of the Church of England Deanery of Central Croydon in the Archdeaconry of Croydon.

The Archdeaconry is part of the Croydon Episcopal Area which is within the Diocese of Southwark, in the Province of Canterbury.
 
Our Mission Statement:
 

         

We are a friendly and welcoming benefice.
  

 

Whilst our regular services have a traditional feel, we enjoy the challenge of creating alternative worship.                 
 

 

We believe in a church that cares for the community, its congregation, its parish and the wider world.
 

 

We are a benefice where everyone belongs, is valued and can grow in faith.
 

 
 

The Benefice of South Croydon, St Peter and St Augustine was established in 2006, and brought together in an equal partnership, the Church of England Parish of St Augustine with the Parish of St Peter, out of which St. Augustine's had been originally carved in the nineteenth century.  The Benefice straddles the Brighton Road for two miles and has a resident population of 11,000.
 

Between us, we offer Christian worship in the Anglican tradition and activities to encourage community and overcome human loneliness.  Like the Divine Kingdom that Jesus made known, our churches are meeting-places, where all are welcome.
 

If you live in the Benefice or worship with us regularly we welcome your enquiries about Marriage, Baptism, Confirmation or Funerals.
