The church's Minister is Rev David Innes.[3]Services are held weekly on Sunday mornings and Sunday evenings.[5] The church produces a newsletter, Focus, three times a year.[6]

The church halls and worship area are used by many local groups for various community activities. "Teddington Voluntary Care" has its main office based in one of the rooms off the main hall.
