History

The Church was originally planted in 1990 by Emmanuel Church, Wimbledon, and met at Dundonald Primary School in Merton,[6] before moving to its current location in 2008, which was the site of a former warehouse.[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] The building was originally expected to be completed in September 2021,[7] however was delayed due to flooding.[9]

As of 2019, its congregation consisted of over 500 adults, with sizeable Korean and South African memberships.[10]
