Welcome to St. Michael's Church in Coningsby, Lincolnshire.
We are in a group of ten Anglican parishes serving rural villages in central Lincolnshire. Each church has its own character and activities, but we work and share together as much as we can, in worship and social events throughout the year.
We are committed to being a people of prayer, learning to live out our faith in Jesus and loving our local community.
For many years this was the church for RAF Coningsby. We have a side chapel dedicated to the base and all who have served. We are proud to have the Dutch flag laid up in this chapel. We are usually open during daylight hours for you to visit. You might like to spend some time reading the various local history displays that we have. And of course you can tell the time using our iconic 1 handed clock on the tower. It is very accurate.
Most of the time at church we are like a big happy family. However even in very happy families, people can have a bad day and even people we know and trust can upset us. We want to help everyone have good days all of the time. We try to make sure that people who have jobs in the church always behave well and in a way that is helpful to you.
We never want anyone or anything in church to frighten you, confuse you or worry you. It is important that you tell us if something is upsetting you or if you are feeling worried about something that's happening or something somebody is doing. We have specially trained people who can talk to and who you can ask for help.
These people are good at Safeguarding. This means they look after everyone's safety. Caring for people is a very important part of our Christian life.
