WELCOME TO OUR CHURCH
St. Giles Church is a friendly, Anglican church based in the historical hamlet village of Croxden.
What to expect:
A relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Songs and hymns that are easy to join in with.
Down to earth teaching from the bible.
A choice of places to start finding out about Jesus.
Small groups to make new friends.
Opportunities to get involved in helping others.
Going somewhere new is never the easiest thing to do, so we hope our website helps you learn more about us, and makes that first visit easier. When you're ready, we have a Service every Sunday where we'd love to say hello in person.
If all of this is a bit new, and coming on a Sunday isn't what you're looking for, we also have a popular Alpha Course that people tell us is a great place to start.
We know St Giles won't be perfect for everyone, so if we’re not quite what you’re looking for, check out our other churches in the Benefice - St. Michael's Rocester and St. John's Hollington. I'm sure that at one of our churches you'll find a home that suits.
And remember, if you’ve got any questions, just get in touch.
