Welcome to the Parish Churches of Alston Moor in the North Pennines

We're here to serve our communities by sharing God's love with you! Do get in touch if we can be of help.

You're always welcome to visit our church buildings - they are all open daily for visitors and private prayer. 

You'll find a warm welcome if you join us for worship too - we have services every week at 11am in Alston (alternately Holy Communion and Prayer & Praise), as well as services variously at 9.30am, 3pm and 6pm in our other churches, depending on the week. 

All our churches are open daily for visitors and private prayer.

If you need help or pastoral care, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
