Welcome To

St John's Church Shildon

Who we are

St John’s is a welcoming Church of England parish church set in the centre of Shildon, the cradle of the railways.

Parish churches belong to their community. So St John’s is your church regardless of whether you come on a Sunday or not. People come through the door for all sorts of different reasons. Some are curious; some are looking for space; some want to join with our activities, have fun, meet new people. Some just want to pray; some want to belong; some want to find out about faith. But the reason doesn’t matter, the welcome is there for all.
