St Pancras Church isn’t just a building…. we are a group of local Christians, who believe in a wonderful God of love and justice who wants us to know Him personally. He's made that possible through sending His Son, Jesus Christ, into our world, to fully reveal His truth, to die on the cross and rise again from the dead, so that our sins can be forgiven.

If we put our trust in Jesus as Saviour and Lord, we come into a living relationship with God - that is what it means to be a Christian. It's great GOOD NEWS!

The result of that relationship is that we want to worship God, which is why we meet together at our Services on a Sunday. We want to grow to know more of God. We also want to share the Good News about Jesus and to show His love in practical ways to our neighbours and in the community. Our various Groups, run by the church members, exist for these reasons.We therefore seek as a church to be welcoming, relevant, challenging and bible-based in our ministry

We also include details of the Uniformed Groups that use our Church Hall - they join us for our monthly Sunday Family Services. Some of the latter groups are run by Church members, other groups are run by the Community.

But we make use of buildings…. the St. Pancras Church Buildings provide us with facilities for our worship and many of our Groups. The Church building itself dates from 1482, but was extensively rebuilt in 1820. The church lounge and church hall are available for hire by community groups and other agencies for meetings or functions. If you would like more details, please email the Church Administrator at admin@stps.org.uk.
