Dundonald Church is an evangelical Church located in the Wimbledon area of the London Borough of Merton, London.[3] Located in the suburb of Raynes Park, Dundonald is committed to preaching the Bible in keeping with the Reformed Evangelical tradition known as Calvinism. Dundonald is a part of the Co-Mission Initiative, a church-planting network in London, which houses its offices in the Church building.[4]
The Senior Pastor of Dundonald is Richard Coekin, who is also the CEO of Co-Mission.[1]
Dundonald Church meets on Sundays, with three gatherings at 10am, 4pm and 6:30pm, with provision for children aged 0-11, at the 10 and 4.
The Church was originally planted as "Emmanuel Dundonald" in 1990 by Emmanuel Church, Wimbledon, and met at Dundonald Primary School in Merton,[5] before moving to its current location in 2008, which was originally the site of a former warehouse.[6][7] In October 2019, construction began for the new three-story church building, and Dundonald temporarily moved to holding services at Wimbledon Chase Primary School, though, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it also hosts services online.[8] Originally expected to be completed in September 2021,[6][9] the new building opened in February 2022.[10]
The church also runs The Coffee House, a donations-only coffee shop in the foyer of the building, open Monday-Friday.
