The Congregational Church is the Congregational church in Penge in the London Borough of Bromley located on Penge High Street between Sainsburys and Kenilworth Road. It was built 1912 to designs by P. Morley Horder "with passage aisles and clerestory. Shafts on large, excellently carved corbels."[1] The structure appears fortress-like in its Romanesque Revival architectural style massing. Its elevated situation and tower dominate Penge High Street, more so than the stone broach spire of St. John the Evangelist, Penge.

The minister is Rev. John Taylor, and the Church Secretary is Mrs Pam Owen. Sunday Services are at 10:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.

Penge Congregational Church is part of the Congregational Federation.
