St Michael & All Angels, Daws Heath

St Michael’s is a modern wooden church set in a peaceful field, surrounded by woodland — and you’ll find a warm welcome here.

Our heart is to be a blessing to the local community. We’re here in seasons of joy and in times of sorrow, and we want to help people explore faith by sharing God’s love openly and honestly. We’re not a church that shuts the doors and keeps itself to itself — our life together is outward-looking, community-focused, and everyone is welcome to join in.

Baptisms and Thanksgivings

Alongside baptisms, we also offer a Thanksgiving Service to celebrate the birth of a child. This is ideal for parents who would like to give thanks for new life but aren’t ready to make the promises that come with baptism.

Weddings

St Michael’s is a beautiful, light-filled building and a much-loved setting for wedding photos — a special place to mark a special day.

Funerals

We can support families by taking funeral services in church, or—if you would prefer—our clergy can also arrange, through local funeral directors, to lead services at the crematorium.
