A Bright Future
Here at St Nicholas, we are known for our 4 W’s.
Welcome
We welcome ALL. All are welcome and offered a place of sanctuary, rest and family.
Worship
Our range of services, from partaking in ancient liturgy like the Book of Common Prayer to more modern all age services like the Pet Service, enable all to seek and experience God. We love and prioritise music at St Nicholas and our evensong service is an outworking of our love for sung worship.
Wisdom
St Nicholas’ time-honoured building and our history as a worshipping community across the centuries enables us to welcome all who seek wisdom, from secondary school pupils to pilgrims, from the passer by to the preacher, we all journey to seek and share wisdom that we have discovered in our history, tradition and faith.
Walking together
The foundation of St Nicholas is sharing the love of God with one another, walking together with all in the community at the different stages of life. Whether going through a tough patch of grief or a celebration of life, wewalk together, supporting each other.
