Welcome

The church building is open again. We are holding a 10am service each Sunday and will be adding more services and events as and when we have sufficient volunteers to run them.

We welcome enquiries and will be sharing prayers and ministry through social media and here alongside the return to the building

While church services are on hold, the church of Jesus Christ is not on hold

Keep an eye on our page on Facebook. Wendy continues to give her encouraging talks there on Wednesdays at 11am and on Sundays at 12pm. We are hoping to post these eventually on the YouTube channel. Videos of old services are also on our Notices Page.

We are hoping to keep in touch with all our members far and wide.

Welcome to the website of St. Paul's Church, Carlton-in-the-Willows.

Unfortunately, our services and activities have been seriously affected. Our current service is at 10am every Sunday – Communion and Service of the Word every other week with All age service on the third Sunday in the month and Cool Kids sessions during the other services. This is followed by socially distanced coffee and tea.

Church Life

The family of the church at St. Paul’s includes people of all ages and backgrounds.

Our Mission Statement is “Developing intentional relationships within the community, in order to join in with what God is already doing, to create a sense of belonging and to reveal Jesus”

As a church we see ourselves as...

a faith community
a caring community
a worshipping community
a serving community
a hopeful community
a learning community
a missionary community

Regulars and newcomers are always welcome to the Sunday Services that start at 10.00am and 6.00pm.

At St. Paul’s there are many opportunities to explore what it means to be a Christian.

As a church we want to make known through word and deed the good news about Jesus Christ. We also want to continue to practise the things that Jesus Christ stood for such as healing, forgiving, loving ourselves, loving one-another and even loving our "enemies".

Children and Young People

St. Paul's welcomes children and young people of all ages.

For very young children we have a family area at the side of the church well equipped with toys. Children and young people have Bible-based activities and learning running alongside the morning service. We call these activities Cool Kids.

At Cool Kids we provide age appropriate bible based teaching, singing, praying, play and craft activities for children from three years upwards. We meet in different areas of the church, whilst the adults continue with their service. Our aims are:

· To give the children a foundational understanding of Christian truth in a safe and loving environment.

· To enable them to develop and grow, to question and to learn, as well as making friends and having fun.

Once a quarter the morning service is designed for all age groups.

Our Church is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people, and adults, particularly the vulnerable, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The link below is for The Church of England Safeguarding Website, St. Paul's takes safeguarding very seriously and all of our PCC members have now completed the relevant safeguarding training.
