Worship

Worship lies at the heart of Christian life. It is in worship that we express our faith in story, song, and sacrament. It is through encountering God within worship that we are formed, and transformed, as God’s people.

 

Our 10am Sunday service follows the Church of England's Common Worship, with choir and familiar hymns, while the 8am Holy Communion and Choral Evensong follow the 1662 Book of Common Prayer. At all of our services, you'll find welcoming people from all walks of life, in an open and affirming community of faith.

​

Some of our services don't take place every week, and we also have quite a few special services throughout the year; the What's On page shows up to date details of all services and events that are taking place over the next few days.
