About Us
St Leonard's Church is part of the Parish of St Matthew and St Leonard's Bootle.
At St. Leonards Church we seek to be shaped by the bible and led by the Holy Spirit in all we say and do. A place where all can expect to encounter God and receive His grace.
We have a passion for God and for people, committed to loving God, and loving others we build relationships; through action and service. Always looking upward in worship and adoration, looking inward, towards discipleship and nurture, equipping one another, encouraging each other and serving one another and praying together. to be outward looking to serving our community and beyond in mission and outreach. ’.
