St Bride's Church

General information

St Bride’s is the Church of England’s Parish Church for the University and Canning area of Liverpool. We are committed to a vision of faith which is creative in worship, progressive in thought and inclusive of everyone. We’re offering something radically different from most mainstream churches. Come and join us!

All are welcome at St Bride’s Sunday morning service. We meet at 10am, followed by coffee at 11am and sometimes a shared lunch afterwards.

Our service includes silence, song, creative prayer activities and discussion. We draw inspiration for our liturgies from the work of the Iona Community, Jim Cotter, the Progressive Christian Network, Bruce Sanguin, Inclusive Church, the St Hilda Community and more. First and third Sundays of the month are communion services, second and fourth Sundays are morning prayer, fifth Sundays are Taizé services. There is Godly Play, stories or craft for the young people in “The Greenhouse” and occasionally we break the pattern and have an all age service.

We aim to be a safe, welcoming and inclusive space where faith can be explored in a nonjudgmental and open way with an emphasis on the value of questions, rather than cut & dried answers. There is a strong emphasis on building a community equipped for radical action for peace work, LGBT equality and a pluralist approach to peoples of all faiths and none.
