WELCOME! from the Rev'd Rich Townend - Vicar of St Michael's.
St Michael’s is a beautiful old church, served by a wonderful group of worshippers who love Jesus and share his story in the local community.
We are the parish church for Felton, Swarland and surrounding villages, and have a growing church family of all ages. We are people who enjoy coming together to worship and serve God, both inside and outside our 12th Century church building. Our worship services provide traditional and modern styles of worship.
We aspire to be a community of faith where we sow the seeds of the gospel and bring people of all ages to baptism; we enable faith to nurture and grow through discipleship and fellowship, and we go out to share our faith and gifts beyond the boundaries of the church. Whoever you are, wherever you’ve been, and wherever you’re going, you are welcome here. Whether you are seeking a spiritual home, a place to ask deep questions, or a community to call family, we invite you to journey with us.
Safeguarding

We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer(s), PSOs. The Diocese of Newcastle’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA.
