St Francis, Heartsease

A church at the heart of the community, with the community at its heart

You are welcome here – whoever you are, wherever you’re from, and whatever your journey of faith looks like.

Based on Rider Haggard Road, right in the heart of our parish and just a short walk from Heartsease Primary Academy and Open Academy, we are a church with a heart for our local community.

People tell us that we are a friendly and welcoming church, and we hope you’ll discover that for yourself! Whether you’re looking for a place to worship, somewhere to meet new people, or simply a friendly face and a listening ear, we’d love to meet you.

As Christ’s Church in the heart of the parish we serve, we’re learning together what it means to love God and love our neighbours as ourselves. We don’t have all the answers, but we believe in walking the journey together – growing in faith, building friendships and finding ways to make a difference in our community.

Why not come along and join us? We’d love to welcome you.
