Visiting?
We are a friendly church family and enjoy welcoming new people and visitors. Whether you have lots of questions about life and faith, rarely think about church, used to go in the past, or are completely new — you are warmly welcome at any of our services throughout the week.
To find out more, please see our page about Visiting Us. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Jane in the church office on 01228 515972 who will be very happy to help.We are one church – which meets in two locations – with four congregations. Our normal pattern of services is:
Sunday Mornings
9.45am – St Peter’s, Kingmoor | 10.30am – St John’s, Houghton
A welcoming and engaging service with Sunday School or activities for children.
Monthly All Age Services – on the first Sunday of each month, we enjoy a relaxed, family-friendly time together with something for all ages to connect with.
Sunday Afternoons
4.00pm – 4LIFE at St Peter’s, Kingmoor
An informal and relaxed service – some weeks are all-age, and others have groups for children and young people.
Thursday Mornings
11.00am – St Peter’s, Kingmoor
A short, reflective service with hymns, Bible reading, a talk and prayers, followed by coffee and conversation.
