WELCOME
We are a “seven-days-a-week” church at the heart of Birstall community, working closely together with our Anglican and Roman Catholic friends in the village. On this website you’ll find lots of information about our activities.
We are far from a perfect church, but we are struggling together to work out what it means to be disciples of Jesus Christ at the beginning of the 21st century. The mission statement of the Circuit to which we belong is, “Deepening Discipleship; Making more Disciples”. Here at Birstall we are trying to find ways to put those words into practice.
If you are wondering whether you might fit in here, try measuring yourself against these words, which we used at the beginning of Sunday worship recently:
Whoever you are, wherever you come from, whatever baggage you are carrying with you, you are welcome here.

This is not so much a place for those who think they are strong, but for those who know they are weak and come to find their strength in God It’s not so much a place for those who think they’ve got life sorted as for those who know they haven’t, and come seeking God’s forgiveness and guidance.
Not so much a place for those who think they know all the answers as for those who hardly know how to ask the questions, yet are willing to go on a journey in search of the truth.
So whoever you are, however you’ve got here and why ever you’ve come: you are welcome.

A loop system is available for use in the church & concert hall. Large print hymn books and print sheets are used in most services.
