Churchstoke with Sarn: St Nicholas

Welcome to St Nicholas’, Churchstoke!

Our Vision is to be disciples of Jesus Christ, to grow the Church and extend the Kingdom – for the glory of God and the blessing of our community.

Our Worship

Takes place every Sunday at 10.30am with a mix of Bible teaching, prayers, modern songs and well-known hymns. We have wonderful singers and also a worship band to lead our worship.

Holy Communion is on the first Sunday of each month (while we are looking for a new vicar).

Some of our services include time for reflection, activities, such as craft or games and prayer designed for all ages. These are advertised on our Facebook page.

On the second Sunday of each month we have Kidz Klub at 10:30 for children up to 11 years of age. Children join the service for worship with flags and streamers and dancing and then join our Kidz Klub leaders in our lovely coffee lounge at the back of the church for a Bible story, songs, games and craft.
