Planning your Visit

Welcome 

If you are a guest to church or you are thinking of joining us for worship, this section tells you a little about us and about what to expect when you come to church. 

Sundays

We have three churches and all have different styles and expressions of worship but all have something in common:
  • We worship Jesus through authentic worship, preaching, and prayer
  • We love to sing
  • We welcome children and young families. You will find a toy corner with toys and craft
  • We meet for tea, coffee, juice, and biscuits after each service (not St John's)
  • Each service lasts between 45- 60 minutes 
  • We have toilets and changing facilities (not at St John's) 

Accessibility: At St Oswald's there is wheelchair access, and a sound loop for anyone who needs it.

Getting Connected


Small Groups

While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of one of our small groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We have a variety of groups that meet throughout the week, some afternoons and some evenings. 

Serving and Volunteering

If you want to get involved in the life of the church and help us make Sundays run smoothly, you can sign up to serve on a team. 

Other Ministries

We also run the following ministries:

  • Home visiting 
  • Schools ministry 
  • Mother's Union

If you would like to speak to someone about a life event, your faith, or any other issues, please do contact us.   Our wardens at all three of our churches love to welcome new people and will be happy to show you around. Here are our 3 wardens with Mike, Archdeacon of Chester at their licensing service last year.
 
We hope that whoever you are, you will feel at home at our church.
