St Giles Church, Lea, dates from the 14th century, though it was largely rebuilt in 1880. It has recently undergone significant internal re-ordering so that the building is now a warm welcoming flexible space, suitable for many activities.
We are a friendly, lively fellowship, who seek to follow Jesus Christ through our worship, witness and care for one another. We believe that the Bible is God’s word and is as relevant today as when it was written.
We value the contributions of all ages in our life together in Christ and in our worship. There are various Children’s and Youth groups, including a monthly Saturday morning club and a monthly Sunday event during the main church service, both for primary school children, as well as a weekly drop in club for secondary school students.
There are several Fellowship Groups meeting in homes in the village.
