A very warm welcome to the website of Saint Paul's Monk Bretton which we hope you will find a useful resource as you browse through its contents which include details of contacts, personnel, activities and the general history and  faith life of our Christian community.

Our Sunday services are generally traditional in nature with hymns accompanied on the organ. Weekday services are usually spoken. Children are welcome at our services and we have activity packs available.

Refreshments are available in the Parish Centre following our Sunday and Thursday services.

We are always looking for new congregation members as well as volunteers able to help on a regular or occasional basis. We have a regular Men's Working Group which perform maintenance tasks around the church every Wednesday between 10:30 and 12:30. We would also welcome new members for our choir and bell-ringing team
