Welcome to Ulverston Parish Church! We'd love to see you at our next service or event. You can contact us if you have any questions or just to say hello.
We’re a community of people of all ages and from all walks of life. We don’t come to church because we’re perfect people, but because we want to grow in our faith, we want to worship, we want to serve, and we want to share God’s love with our community in practical ways. We’re active partners in Churches Together in Furness and work closely with other churches in the Ulverston district.
At Ulverston Parish Church we work hard to maintain a safe environment for all. We are committed to implementing the House of Bishops’ safeguarding policies and good practice guidance.
