Epsom Methodist Church closed early amid the protests for safety reasons.
The Reverend Catherine Hutton, from the church, told BBC Radio Surrey: “I think people have a right to be able to be in their home without feeling threatened and victimised whatever their background, whatever their context.”
She has urged people to be “calm”.
“We call for people to be respectful of one another and to afford each other the dignity that we ourselves would wish to receive,” she added.
Hutton said the community would “come through this”.
“Epsom’s an amazing place, it’s resilient and full of good people that are hopeful and loving and generous and kind,” she added.
