We like to think we are a friendly and open church, welcoming everyone whether they are visiting us for the first or umpteeth time.  Broadly traditional and middle of the road, we try to meet the spiritual needs of a wide and diverse congregation through a variety of services.

Our main service each week is at 9am on Sunday and normally attracts around 40 people. It's usually based upon Common Worship, has music and focuses each week on a particular section of our congregation. 

When there is a fifth Sunday in the month, we share communion at 10am with our sister congregations in the joint benefice: Christ Church, Colne and St Mary's, Trawden.  

If you'd like to join us for one of these special services, please check here to see which church we will be using.  We have an active Sunday School which runs alongside and takes part in the 9am service during term-time.

We also hold a shorter, spoken communion service at 8am on Sunday and at 10am on Thursday. 

We have a number of house groups, run by parishioners in their homes. 

Our church was built in 1905 and stands proudly beside the A56 on the road into the village from Colne.  It is a magnificent setting overlooking Lake Burwains (also known as Foulridge Lower Reservoir).  

Under the church we have a versatile Parish Room, complete with full kitchen and disabled facilities.

This plays host to a wide variety of social events throughout the year, including a parish lunch on the last Wednesday of most months. Details of forthcoming functions can be found under the "Events" tab, again via the above link. 

We are also proud of our connections to St Michael and All Angels CofE VA School, which is situated just a short distance away, also overlooking the Lake. The children play an important part in the life of our community.

Please do come and try us out - we'd love to see you.
