North Walsham, Edingthorpe, Worstead and Westwick

Seeking to weave faith, hope and love throughout our community.

For centuries people have worshipped at our four churches. They have come for joyful and sad times, for baptisms (christenings), weddings and funerals. They have come for the major festivals of the church at Easter and Christmas. They have silently slipped in, prayed and slipped out again during the course of a day. They have gathered Sunday by Sunday to celebrate the resurrection and the good news of Jesus Christ. And we continue to do so today. All are welcome. YOU are welcome. Join us!

Inclusion statement: We aspire to be a welcoming, inclusive and affirming Christian community, built on the understanding that God loves and accepts us equally, irrespective of gender, sexuality, race, culture, social standing, belief, age or ability - and believing that God calls us equally to share that unconditional love with all people, without exception.

Our churches are all open to animals (and their owners) and provision is made - animals are welcome at services and we hold an annual Pet Blessing service. 

Info on Blessings for marriages held elsewhere can be held in church , and we welcome ALL people who wish to celebrate these. Prayers of thanksgiving, dedication and asking for God’s blessing for same-sex couples can be held in church from 17th December 2023.

The church office phone (01692 408971) is checked regularly, so please do leave a message if you need to speak to someone.
