About Us

Welcome to St Augustine Church and Parish Centre Wisbech

The parish of St Augustine is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer(s), PSOs. The Diocese of Ely’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.

The People

St Augustine is an Anglican parish church in Wisbech, located adjacent to Wisbech Park. At our heart is faith in God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. We seek to grow in knowledge of and obedience to Him. We are committed to the faith, prayer, being open to the Spirit and serving the people of our community in creative ways. We strive to bring people into a living relationship with our Lord through our worship, fellowship and prayer; teaching and pastoral care; reflection and action. We are committed to fostering and nurturing the depth of relationship between God and God's creation and with one another. Everyone is most welcome to come and be a part of shaping our fellowship at St Augustine.

St Augustine is a place to explore faith together. We share the message of compassion and love in a world that is so often hurting and cold. It is the message of the one who came to us with that same love and compassion to strengthen us and encourage us to live life in all its fullness. You are most welcome.
