About Us
Holy Sepulchre has been welcoming worshippers and visitors in Northampton since 1100AD.
While we love our unique historic building we recognize that the church community is more than a building and our services, events, and groups all aim to bring people together.
As a registered Inclusive Church we welcome all people regardless of age, race, gender, sexuality, mental or physical abilities, or financial or social status. We fully support the ministry of women as deacons, priests, and bishops.
We have services every Tuesday and Sunday.

4. Sacraments: We recognize and administer sacraments, including Baptism and Holy Communion, as sacred rituals that convey God’s grace and presence.
5. Worship and Prayer: Worship is a central aspect of the Church, with liturgical practices and a structured order of service. Prayer, both individual and communal, is emphasized as a means of connecting with God.
