Benwell & Scotswood Team Parish

Welcome! We are four churches that make up the Parish of Benwell & Scotswood in the West-end of Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

We believe that Jesus calls us to keep two commandments – to love God and to love our neighbour as ourselves. We hope that this love informs everything we do.

Join us in church every Sunday morning at 11am and at other times and locations around the parish.
