All Saints with Holy Trinity (Loughborough Parish Church)

If you are coming from a church where you are used to taking an active role in services or some other aspect of the life of the church we will be very pleased to see you.

The evening service is less well attended and we are actively exploring differing forms of worship which we hope will encourage more people to join us. Preaching and teaching are an important part of worship, mainly led by our full-time ministers, but complemented in     Bible Study sessions, House Groups, Discipleship Classes and of course within the Sunday School.
