We offer a service in the church on most Sundays. Please check our Services/Events page for timings and occasional date changes.

We also offer Messy Church, family friendly inter-generational worship, in other parishes in our benefice each Sunday. On the First Sunday in a month this is at High Ercall Village Hall.
