St Francis of Assisi

Getting here

Welcome to St.Francis Church, West Bessacarr!

We are an Anglican Church located at Nostell Place, right in the heart of West Bessacarr.

Vision

To be a growing and loving Church family through which God transforms lives and builds community

We seek to be a growing church because we love what Jesus has done in our lives and we want others to know it too!   We seek to be a loving Church because God has loved us so much we want to love others and treat them well! We seek to be a place of transformation because we love seeing what happens in people’s lives when we invite God’s Spirit to be at work.  And we love to build community because when we have a strong, open and loving community everyone gains.
