http://www.scsparishchurches.org.uk
We are three friendly evangelical churches, situated between Leicester and Loughborough. Our aim is to glorify God in all that we do with an especial emphasis on the Bible which we believe is God's word and the principal way He speaks to us today.
Everyone is welcome who wants to explore, or to be built up in, the Christian faith.
Sunday services are at 11.00 a.m. and 6.30 p.m. The 11.00 services are more geared for families whilst the 6.30 services are somewhat more traditional. If you are new to the church we recommend that you try the 11.00 service. There are also services at Cossington at 9.30 a.m. and Seagrave at 5.00 p.m.
During the 11.00 service, there is a manned Crí¨che for 0 - 3s and Cornerstones Children's Groups for 3 - 16s.
