Basic Awareness Safeguarding Course

BASIC AWARENESS SAFEGUARDING COURSE Three years ago, after the church re-opened, we ran a Basic Awareness Safeguarding Course for anyone who was unable to access the training online and would find it easier to come along to the church to do the training as a group. For some people it is now time to renew their training after three years, for others it will be the first time. This is a relaxed, non threatening way for everyone to join together and learn how we can, as a church, keep everyone safe whether it is children or vulnerable adults. If you would like to take advantage of this opportunity we will be running the course on Monday 23rd February 2026 at 9.30 am in church. Please let me know if you would like to join us.

Royston Parish Church (Herts)

Welcome to Royston Parish Church, in the heart of the town of Royston (Hertfordshire), a church where all are welcome and God's love is shared.

Focused on God, we want to be a growing fellowship of believers, who are being encouraged and developed at all stages in our faith journey and who are reaching out to and serving the people of Royston.

 You are warmly invited to come along to our services.  Our main services are on Sundays at 9am and 10:30am.   We also host many other events such as our monthly Tea Time Praise service, Tots in Church, house-groups, socials – see our What's On/News and Notices pages for details.  We are participating in the "Eco Church" awards scheme and are currently at "Bronze" status.

In November 2023 we reopened our stunning church in the heart of Royston after nearly four years of building work following a serious fire in December 2018. We have taken the opportunity to refurbish the church so that it now provides a light, warm, flexible space with disabled access and facilities.   We are open on weekdays from 9-4pm and on Saturday and Sunday mornings for services and coffee, so do drop in to enjoy this peaceful, prayerful space.

Please have a look around this site to find out more or visit our website. We are also on Facebook. If you have any queries about christening, weddings or the reading of Banns of Marriage, do get in touch with us on [email protected]
