Our services follow the set Anglican liturgy, and the intimate nature of the building creates a friendly atmosphere. Visitors are most welcome. As with all Anglican churches, there is an emphasis on hearing God's word through readings from the Bible, and an attempt to grapple with its meaning and significance in Bible focused sermons.
The parish also includes St Andrew’s, Evandale and St Matthias’, Windermere.
