Church Life

There is lots going on at Euxton Parish Church whether it’s on Sunday mornings or during the week, in the church building, in the community centre or out in the community.

Please choose from the options in the navigation to the right to see all that is going on.

If you want to get involved then please contact Jo, our vicar using the contact page.

We meet at:

Wigan Road, Euxton, Chorley PR7 6JH

There is parking available nearby in our car park on School Lane.

Our 8am service is a quiet service of Holy Communion (BCP). Whilst our 10am services are a mix of Holy Communion, Parade and Morning Worship.

On the 4th Sunday of the month (check the calendar!) TOAST (Time on a Sunday Together) runs in the Community Centre at 9.30am and 11am.

Whilst each of our services is different, you can expect a warm welcome; relevant preaching based in the Word of God and a friendly group of people ready to learn more about what it means to be a follower of Jesus.

Children of all ages are welcome in every service (though some services are more geared towards families).

Planning your Visit

A Warm Welcome

The following information is specifically for those planning to visit us for the first time, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

Most of our services take place in the Church Building (details below) starting at 10am. For your first visit, we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to give you plenty of time to park your car and then find somewhere to sit before the service begins. When you arrive, you will be greeted by one of our sidespeople who will give you everything you need for the service and show you where to sit.

After the 10am service tea, coffee and biscuits (and sometimes cake!) is served in the Community Centre. It is a great way to meet other people from church and enjoy a time of fellowship together.

Our Service

The main service begins at 10am with a warm welcome from the Vicar and usually lasts about an hour. On the first and third Sundays of the month the service is Holy Communion using Common Worship. The second Sunday of the month is when we have our Family Parade Service and the fourth Sunday service is Morning Praise. Neither of these services includes Holy Communion. If there is a fifth Sunday in the month we will have an All Age Service which is often quite lively with something for everyone regardless of how many years young they are. It's probably easiest to check the calendar to see what is on each week!

If you prefer a quieter, more traditional service then at 8am each Sunday we have a quiet BCP (1662) Holy Communion Service which lasts about 45 mins.
