We enjoy Anglican worship that ranges from traditional to contemporary and we want to grow as members of the Body of Christ.

To arrange a Christening or the calling of Banns of Marriage,

please come to the Office Hour held in church every Thursday from 6.30pm.

Our main service times are 8:30am and 10am Sundays, 10am Wednesdays – other services and special events are posted on our Facebook page. You are welcome to attend any of the services on offer at St Francis Church.
