Who we are

We are an anglican church in the North West of England, specifically in the heart of Wesham on the Fylde coast - half way between Preston and Blackpool. ‘Anglican’ means that we are part of the Church of England, and the worldwide Anglican Communion. We are also part of the Diocese of Blackburn and fully support the diocesan vision to see ‘Healthy Churches transforming communities’. We have a diverse stylew of worship. Our morning service follows the Church of England Lectionary and seasonal Calendar of the anglican church. Our afternoon service is more informal and contemporary.

At both services, however, we prioritise reading the bible and preaching on a passage from it, we prioritise prayer and we prioritise creating space to encounter Jesus as we share communion together and worship in song. These are key components every time we gather togfether for worship.

Key Beliefs

One God: Father, Son & Holy Spirit

Belief in God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit is at the heart of our faith. Christians believe that Jesus is God’s Son. Jesus reveals to us that God is our Father. And God’s love is available to us through the Holy Spirit. This is called the ‘Trinity’.

Love & Sacrifice

It was God’s love for us, and our separation from him through our sins and failures that led Jesus to be executed on the cross. This willing death was a sacrifice which means we can be forgiven and be put right with God. We can have a living relationship with our loving Father who made us, loves us and welcomes us home.

We want to give everyone the opportunity to find the life-changing love of God that we’ve experienced!

Living Our Faith

Living as a Christian isn’t about following rules or using willpower to be nice. God gives us the Holy Spirit, who fills us with love and compassion and helps us know that our life on this earth isn’t the only thing that matters.
