We are an inclusive church, welcoming everyone.
We believe that God's love is for everyone and should be shown to all people.
Our worship holds the Eucharist and our choral tradition at its core.
We are intergenerational, worshipping with all ages present and in different ways.
We honour the tradition of our beautiful building and our place in the community of Leominster as the civic Church.
We believe that as well as caring for each other we need to care for God's creation.
Being an Inclusive Church means ...
“We believe in inclusive church – a church which celebrates and affirms every person and does not discriminate.
We will continue to challenge the church where it continues to discriminate against people on grounds of disability, economic power, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, learning disability, mental health, neurodiversity, or sexuality.
We believe in a Church which welcomes and serves all people in the name of Jesus Christ; which is scripturally faithful; which seeks to proclaim the Gospel afresh for each generation; and which, in the power of the Holy Spirit, allows all people to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Jesus Christ.”

The PCC produced this statement early 2020 in response to some more topical news stories, but it's a good summary of what we think all the time.
