WELCOME

We are a Church of England Parish, evangelical by tradition, situated just outside of Oxford. We enjoy a variety of worship styles. We love Jesus and our community and want to help everyone to find a living faith in Him. We’d love for you to join us!

We meet every week for worship at 10:30am in St Michael’s, Cumnor and St Andrew’s Dean Court. We also meet monthly for our Hymns and Cake service at 3:30pm in St Mary’s Farmoor. Each week the service from St Michael’s is streamed live on this website and our YouTube channel.

St Michael’s is open to the public, every day of the week from 9am-5pm. 

You can read more about our vision here.
