Welcome to St Augustine’s web site. What can I tell you about St Augustine’s Church?

Well, first of all we are a Parish church. What I mean by that is that the church is here to serve all the residents in our parish, and it is our joy and privilege to do that. It is hoped that you will always find a warm welcome with us, whether by attending our worship, or in making enquiries about baptisms, weddings, funerals etc. We want you to feel comfortable in approaching us, even if you are not a regular member of the church. We strongly believe that our church is here to serve all members of our parish, not just members of our congregation.

In our worship we try to keep a balance between the modern and the traditional, and our Sunday Family Eucharist is designed to try and meet the needs of all ages in worship. If you choose to come and join us for this at any time you will be made welcome without feeling pressurised to come again. We believe that God is an important part of our community, and that all our lives need a spiritual element to them in one form or another, that God is not just about coming to church on Sunday but is part and parcel of our daily lives. An important role of the church is to help people experience that and to support people on their life journey.

This web site is a new venture for us, and we hope that over time we will be able to build up valuable information that you will find useful and helpful. Please do not be afraid to contact me if you any queries or questions, and I will do my best to help.

I hope what you find on these pages will give you a valuable insight into St Augustine’s Church but, of course, the best way to check out our church is to come and see for yourself!

Best wishes

Gavin Berriman
