Who we are
We are a happy church. A friendly church where you can be yourself and soon feel at home. An international church – about 40 different nations. Catch the variety, flavour and vibrancy of heaven’s worship… and have a preview of heaven’s colour scheme!
A church that means business for God, and never forgets we were bought with a price. A church that engages seriously with God’s word … and His world.
A church that’s trying to become a ‘house of prayer for the nations’.
Not a perfect church, but one that’s warm, welcoming and so far has never turned anyone away!
Children seem to enjoy coming, so do teenagers and young adults. The ‘golden oldies’ feel at home so does local activists, fashion designers, football fans, students, single mums, businessmen, mechanics and those looking for jobs. We’re sure you’ll fit in somewhere as well!
Our Vision
A people devoted to Christ, truly demonstrating his love so that others may discover the joy of knowing Him.
Our Mission
To know our Lord Jesus Christ and to make Him known to others/ To encourage everyone to discover their God-given gift and use it to serve others/ To live an authentic Christian lifestyle/ To identify and be responsive to the needs of our local community.

Leader Bio:
Pastor Paul joined All Nations Church in 1990 and in a short time became a key member of the worship team. He was later appointed worship leader and went on to lead the worship team for over 15 years before succumbing to the pastoral call and enrolling in Spurgeon’s College for formal theological training in 2003.
On completion of his training, he was appointed Associate Pastor in 2007 and served in this capacity until the retirement of Pastor Leslie Ball in September 2012. Shortly thereafter, Pastor Paul was appointed as Senior Pastor with the task of leading the church in their next phase of growth.
Originally from Nigeria, Pastor Paul has a passion for creative property development. Aside from his pastoral work, he runs various business enterprises that all seem to involve buildings (flats, houses, shopping malls, hotels and Theme Parks) and clocking up lots of air miles.
Pastor Paul has been driving our redevelopment project and spearheading innovative ways to communicate God’s unchanging word to a changing world. He is married and has two lovely children. He loves his music, leading worship and football, and has been used to release several beautiful worship songs into the church.
A big man with a big heart. A great gift to our church and the wider church.

All Nations Church - Our Story
Some 90 years ago when Clapham Park (in the no man’s land triangle between Brixton, Balham and Clapham) was one of the fastest growing Council Estates in London with a planned for 40,000 residents. God put a glint in the eye of some Christians in Clapham to begin a Sunday school and reach the hundreds of children moving into the area. They hired the Bonneville Gardens primary school and soon had more than their hands full of children. An SOS went out and help came from Balham Baptist church, sending over a dedicated team of workers every Sunday afternoon. Soon the numbers of children being reached went over the 1000 mark!
After World War 2 the council changed its policy of hiring to churches and so the team of workers began to cast their eyes over a bomb site on Poynders Road as a possible place for building a youth hall. The Council also had sights on the land and decided to compulsory purchase it. After fervent prayer and a presentation to the House of lords, Balham Baptist were granted permission to buy the land. In 1958 the bomb site became God’s site when the Bonneville hall was opened to great rejoicing. The group of workers God had forged together on the anvil of self-sacrifice covenanted together on 4 March 1961 to become the Bonneville Baptist Church in Clapham Park. The rest as they say is very colourful history:

You are...
You are the shade in the heat, You are shelter in the cold, You are eyes to the blind, You are a staff to the pilgrim, You are an island in the sea, You are a stronghold upon land, You are healing to the sick. You are the luck of every joy, You are the light of the sun's beam, You are the door of lordly welcome, You are the pole star of guidance, You are the step of the roe of the height, You are the step of the white-faced mare, You are the grace of the swimming swan, You are the jewel in each mystery.
