About Us

St John’s, Egglescliffe stands within the centre ground of the Anglican tradition. We hope to offer a home to those who may have differing understandings of how to be church and to worship, but who are committed to discipleship. We also hope to be a congregation which will accept whatever anyone wishes to give by way of sharing of gifts and talents; and to be a place where the explorer will find help on his or her journey.

The church building is mediaeval with a fine seventeenth century interior, which has undergone a transformation to make better use of the space for welcome, prayer, and hospitality.   A small extension provides an equal access toilet, a baby-change area, and better facilities for utility and storage. There is a sound enhancement and loop system.

Wednesday at 9.15am is set aside for morning prayer or informal Holy Communion  which lasts about half an hour.  Also on Wednesday 10.30 till 11.45 we have our Community Coffee Morning where we welcome all comers to our church.   

Our Friendship Lunch for retired people in the Parish Hall is increasingly popular,  This is a simple two course meal  costs £5.  We would love to see you there.  to book contact Vanessa on 07375 077699
