Welcome to St Michael's

Our building has had to be closed as subsidence has made it unsafe to use. We are working hard to raise funds to erect the essential scaffolding needed. Please consider helping with a donation using the link further down this page. Thank you to everyone who has already contributed. Every little helps.
Worship is taking place in the Pastoral Centre Hall at 1A Jack Straw's Lane OX3 0DL.
As we enter the autumn season we focus on Creation and the environment. We are still following the teachings of Jesus in Luke's Gospel supported by other readings from the Bible.
You can worship with us onsite or online - it's fully participatory and you will find a warm welcome
Onsite find us at the bottom of Jack Straw's Lane on the corner with Marston Road OX3 0JA
