Church Open for Enquiries

Every 2nd and 4th Wednesday the church is open for an hour. If you would like to ask about weddings, baptisms or just to have a chat; or just come and sit in the church and hold the space for you and God. You are most welcome to come. The hour will end with an informal evening prayer beginning at 7pm, you are more than welcome to stay or come just for the moment of gathering together to pray and give your day and all that is on your heart over to God.

More about Skerne Park

Durham, England

Skerne Park sits quietly in Durham where the river bends and the air smells of damp earth after a shower. It is not a place for crowds but rather for those who prefer a pint on the terrace or a walk along the bank without being pushed along by the tide. The town keeps its pace steady so you can take your time choosing between a local pub or a quiet corner shop nearby. We make sure everything from garden parties to book clubs is easy to find right here. It is a proper bit of Durham that knows how to relax and stay warm when the wind picks up.
