St Bartholomew's Church in Longdon on Tern is in one of the twelve parishes in the benefice of Haughmond and Wrekin. Longdon on Tern is a village in rural Shropshire, just north of Telford.
We offer a service in the church on most Sundays. Please check our Services/Events page for timings and occasional date changes. The Shine Youth Café meets at the Village Hall, next to the church on Friday evenings during term times.
We also offer Messy Church, family friendly inter-generational worship, in other parishes in our benefice. On the First Sunday in a month this is at High Ercall Village Hall. On the second Sunday in a month, Messy Church is offered both in the morning (Ellerdine Village Hall at 9.30am) and in the afternoon (Rodington Village Hall at 3pm). Wrockwardine Village Hall is the location on the fourth Sunday each month at 4pm.
