"Harvesting God's Love at the Cathedral of the Fields"

Sefton Church is dedicated to St Helen and has been a place of continuous Christian worship for more than 850 years. It is one of the oldest Christian sites on Merseyside and is one of only two Grade I listed buildings in the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton.

If you have never visited Sefton Church we hope you can do so soon. Sefton Parish Church received 3 stars in Simon Jenkins book ‘England’s Thousand Best Churches’ in which he describes Sefton as ‘more than an oasis.’ While you marvel at this glorious building may you also catch a glimpse of the Glory of God and be renewed in body, mind and spirit.

Today Sefton continues to be a living centre of Christian worship and we aim to be an inclusive church where everyone can feel respected and at home. A warm welcome awaits you and we hope that this website will encourage you to come and visit us.

What's on

All Age Worship Service

for 45 mins
Sefton Parish Church
Bridges Lane Sefton Liverpool, L29 7WG, United Kingdom

Please come and join us for our shorter service.
We are hoping you will join us, as we hope the service will:
Enable different ages to contribute to worship together;
Encourage people to see church as “shared experience” and recognise we need each other;
Make worship more accessible to people who do not feel able to attend church regularly and to our many visitors provide a change in our usual pattern of services;
Will be suitable for all-adult congregations as well as young people.
For those families who have busy lives it is shorter in length than a usual Sunday Service.
