The Pastor's Magazine is the monthly publication of Harlesden Baptist Church — a short, accessible journal of teaching, reflection, church news and events, written by Pastor Cornelius Mereweather-Thompson and the wider church family. A new issue is prepared each month and made available both online and as a free printed copy at the church.

Open the magazine →The Pastor's Magazine is produced by hand each month by people who also carry the day-to-day life of the church — preaching, visiting, prayer, and the ordinary rhythms of family and work. From time to time the new edition arrives a few days later than usual, either because we are waiting for a contribution to come in, or because of a technical hiccup in preparing it for the web. When that happens, the printed copy at the church is usually the first to appear, and the online edition follows. Please bear with us — it will come.

How to get a copy
🖥️ Online
Read every new issue on this website the moment it is published. No login is required for the current issue.

Writing for the magazine
The Pastor's Magazine is not solely written by the Pastor. Members of the church family are warmly invited to contribute — a short testimony, a reflection on a passage of Scripture, a report on a church group's recent activities, a poem, or a piece of writing on something God has been teaching you. If you would like to contribute, please get in touch.
