An Evangelical Church in Harlow, Essex

An open Bible

Welcome to Oakwood Chapel

Oakwood Chapel has been a part of Little Parndon in Harlow for over 65 years. Harlow has changed a lot since we were founded, and is still changing, but our desire hasn't changed: we are here to share the gospel of Jesus Christ in and around the local community.

Macmillan Chai Morning

We are hosting a Macmillan "Chai" morning on 27 September. See our Coffee mornings page for more details.

New morning service time!

From 3 August, our morning service will start at 10am.

Get ready to rise and shine! Since Sunday 3 August 2025, our morning service has moved to its new time of 10.00am.

Sunday services

Our Sunday morning service is at 10.00am, and our Sunday evening service is at 6.30pm, both held in-person at the church.

See Sunday services for more detail about what to expect at our services.

Children and young people

Our groups for children all the way from toddlers to teenagers and beyond meet during the Sunday morning service, with regular social activities throughout the year for the pre-teens and up.

See Children & youth for more information about our young people's activites.

Prayer and fellowship

We meet in people's homes at 7.00pm on Tuesday for prayer and 6.30pm on Friday for fellowship. We meet at the church on Saturday at 9.00am for prayer.

See Midweek meetings for more details about our various midweek meetings.

Special events

Each year we have at least three events to which we especially invite visitors:

  • Summer barbecue
  • Harvest celebration
  • Carol service

See Special events for more information about these (and other) special events we put on.

If you're a visitor, you are of course always welcome to any of our meetings!
