St Michael & All Angels, Summertown

Welcome to St Michael and All Angels in Summertown. We are the Anglican Parish Church for the Summertown, Cutteslowe and Waterways districts of north Oxford.

At a time when many people are asking questions about the meaning of life, we would warmly welcome you to join us for worship at St Michael’s; to find space for reflection and prayer, and together to consider the issues, personal and public, that face us today. 

We are an inclusive church in the liberal catholic tradition and welcome people of all ages from all walks of life. We strive to make our worship relevant, challenging and dignified, and to reflect God’s love for our world. Children are very much part of our church life and are welcome at all services. Do join us one Sunday!
