Welcome!
We are a lively, growing church and are one of three in the parish of Woodley, St. John the Evangelist in the Diocese of Oxford.
As a church we believe that we can have a relationship with the living God because of Jesus Christ. We believe that when we respond to Jesus Christ and put our faith in His death and resurrection we are given a fresh start and can live a new life with God. This is good news! As a church we want to live that new life and share it with others.
Therefore as a church our vision is to be a people who:
- share in the life of God
- share our lives with one another
- share God's life with others where He has placed us
As a church community we meet in Emmanuel Church Centre in Southlake Crescent. The real church is of course the people, and we are a large family of adults and young people and would love to welcome you to be part of us!
We hope that this website will give you some information about how we share life with God, with each other and with others.
A word of welcome from Sean, our vicar:
Whether you're just visiting for the first time, have a specific interest or are a regular church member, I hope you'll find our website informative and interesting. We hope people find us to be a modern, informal, welcoming community for all ages.
Our aim is to be a meeting place where people can share life with God and each other, whether they are just beginning their spiritual journey or have been on the road of faith a long time already. If you have a particular question, don't hesitate to contact me and I'll try to help.
With Every Blessing,
Sean RiordanVicar
