Come as you are. There’s a place for you.

Join us on the second Sunday of every month at 11.00am for our Service of the Word at Woodlesford Parish Hall.

A relaxed and welcoming service where we come together to hear the Bible, reflect on what it might mean for our lives today, pray, sing and enjoy being part of our church community.

Whether church is part of your regular Sunday, you haven’t been for years, or you’re simply curious and wondering what it’s all about — you are very welcome.

No expectations. No need to know what to do. Just come along and join us.
