About Us

St George's Church, the Parish of St George and All Saints Douglas

We long to serve the communities of the island and our parish, by being a welcoming and inclusive church, where all can feel at home and accepted by God and by us.

We are  a thriving Church family  and look to the future with hope! We are a warm and welcoming church to people of all ages and nationalities. Please see Services and Events for dates and times, but usually 10.30am and 6pm on Sundays, 6pm on Fridays for Compline (Night Prayer).   Our Church is also registered with New Wine and we long to establish a regular New Wine Service at the Church. There are regular prayer meetings and Bible Study groups and we would love to welcome you to join us. 

We welcome families and have a Children's Church that meets in the lobby during the main service. Bethany de Legh- Runciman organizes the activities which include Bible stories and crafts. We are keen to develop a youth group in the near future. 

St George’s is also the Civic Church of the Capital City of the Isle of Man and a popular concert venue. We are the oldest church building in Douglas, and very well maintained. We have installed story boards in our churchyard telling the tale of a church with a long and fascinating history. We are well worth a visit if you're visiting the island. We are open every day and our church is rich in history: please call in for a look round: there is a church history available for £1 (currently being revised).

We live stream to our Facebook page Sunday mornings at 10.30 and Friday Compline. We use data projection for hymns, worship songs and prayers. We have a super new organ built by Harris & Harris in 2000 and a worship group that leads the service on the 1st Sunday of the month and other occasions. 

In all of our worship we seek to be engaging and faithful. The Word of God is handled with a living faith and a lively intelligence and we look to the  Word of God and seek to apply it in our lives with faith and imagination.

We have a PlaySpace at the rear of church for babies and toddlers and activities for older children. We serve freshly brewed, fairly traded tea and coffee with biscuits  after the 10.30 service.

We have modern toilet facilities, including one adapted for wheelchair users and others with physical disability and a baby changing unit, and a hearing-aid loop is fitted to the church for those who need it. There are no steps into the church building or to the Communion rail. We use a lot of multi-media e.g. all hymns are projected onto screens around the church. There are Bibles available in each of the pews.

We also have an Inclusion Table at the back of church with various resources. Bethany who leads Children's Church is also the Diocesan Disabilities Adviser. 

We believe in radical hospitality and welcome. We maintain a warm and inviting church and welcome people to make use of it for a space of quiet reflection, warmth or just to come and eat lunch. 

The grounds of the church are well maintained and there are plenty of seats. If you want a quiet place to sit and  read or eat your lunch in the heart of the City you are always welcome. 

We long to be an Oasis of welcome and support for those who live and work in Douglas.

Please pay us a visit we would love to see you.
