St Giles Church Mountnessing

We are an informal, welcoming church mid-way between Mountnessing and Billericay offering services that are in normal English (Common Worship), on the traditional side yet unfussy and prayerful. The church building is Grade 1 listed, mainly on account of its medieval belfry- this ancient church is a gem. Services are at 9.30 am and last about an hour.  Most people arrive 9.15-9.25 but you can slip in late. Health warning!: The heating is weak- dress up for outdoors and you won't be disappointed! No collection, no fuss but we have a card reader - donations appreciated.  The church has a toilet.
