About Us

We're a friendly, modern Church of England church serving Swanland and the surrounding area.

Whether you're a committed Christian, returning to church after a long time away, exploring faith for the first time, or simply looking for a church community after moving to the area, you're very welcome at St Barnabas.

We are here for you... the local community in Swanland. If you live in the parish or have connections to us, please talk to us about having your wedding here or a christening, whether or not you attend regularly. If you live in Swanland and are getting married in a Church of England church elsewhere, we can read your banns. We take funerals for parishioners in St Barnabas Church or at the local crematorium. Or perhaps you need someone to talk to or pray with.   Just ask...

Every Sunday morning we meet for a service from 10 am to 11.15 am.  We hold mid-week activities in church, including our popular Tuesday baby and toddler group - 'Cygnets' - from 10.30 am - noon, and Thursday 'Coffee Plus...'from 10.00 am - noon.    Become part of our community; we hold monthly meetings for men and women to get to know each other and discuss how we can apply the Christian faith to our lives.

If you want to find out more, please call, email, or arrange to see our vicar for coffee and a chat or a more formal conversation. Alternatively, just turn up at one of our services or midweek events, or pop into the reception area inside St Barnabas' front door during parish office hours in the week (Mon - Thu, 10 am - noon, except Bank Holidays) when the chapel is also open for anyone to spend some quiet time or to pray.   I am usually available on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the church from 10 am - 12 noon, but can arrange to see you at other times.
