We meet each week where our services are a mix of traditional and contemporary worship, and we aim to be accessible and welcoming to all, with access and facilities for those with disabilities.
Whether you are a first time visitor, on holiday in the area, interested in the history of the church, would like to enquire about getting married or having a baptism, or are a regular at church, you will find a warm welcome at St Michael’s.
St Michael Madeley is committed to the safeguarding policy of the Diocese of Hereford. See attached:

Our parish is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO).
Our Diocese safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm, please contact the PSO, Anne DeVere on 07757 385444 or contact the diocese.
The Diocese of Hereford Safeguarding Officer is Carl Steventon and he can be contacted on 07593 817717. For any non-urgent safeguarding inquiries or in the event of Carl being unavailable please contact the Diocesan Office on 01432 373300
The welfare of the vulnerable person – child or adult – must always be held paramount, no matter how uncomfortable that may be because only in that way, can we create a church that is safe for everyone. Important information below:
