Over a hundred years ago, our church was brought down the Leeds-Liverpool canal on a barge to a new home in the parish of Scarisbrick. This was to be a 'church plant' or mission church for our mother church of St. Mark (on Southport Road, Scarisbrick). It's a small, intimate church known for its friendly and relaxed fellowship. A variety of worship styles are used but mainly modern common worship services. There is no doubt that a welcome awaits any visitors!!
