Here at St Francis' Church, Valley Park, we're a wonderfully diverse church family who love to worship Jesus and eat cake together. There's lots happening from our Sunday services in differing styles - formal communion to Messy church, morning worship in person and Zoom to informal worship and prayer where we look to encounter God together. And there's a group for all ages too: we have creche, junior church and youth meetings. Technically, we're an ecumenical partnership of the Anglican, Methodist and United Reformed Churches - in practice we're made up of even more denominations!

We seek to be a blessing to each other and to our surrounding community, through our cafe that runs twice a week, to our work with our local school and GP surgery to whom we offer a chaplaincy service for all faiths and none, our local care home we we share communion each month and of course The Cleveland Bay pub next door - a great meeting venue and brilliant for carol singing each year!

St Francis's Church, Valley Park is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults.
