We are a friendly, active and supportive church in the centre of the beautiful village of East Bergholt, part of the Constable Country benefice with St Michael the Archangel in Brantham.

We love worshipping God and there are a broad range of different services enabling you to meet with Him in a way comfortable to you and to know that you have been in His presence.   

We very much enjoy welcoming visitors to our historic building, and provide teas and coffees on Wednesday mornings and after the main service on Sundays.  

We have a unique set of bells, housed in a bellcage, which are rung every Sunday from 9.30.

We love doing weddings. We will work with you to help you make your wedding very personal and special within the confines of Anglican worship. Please contact the Rector to book your date as early as possible. Bookings already being taken for two years hence! You might like to consult yourchurchwedding.org to help your planning.

Baptisms take place in the main Sunday service at 10.00 unless there are strong pastoral reasons to make an exception.
