Welcome to All Saints Church Church Place, Lydiard Millicent, Swindon.

All Saints is an evangelical Anglican Church. Visit our church, on any Sunday and you will get a warm welcome.  Vicar, Revd Tudor Roberts, Licensed Lay Reader David Cain, Churchwardens, John Halstead and the Church Council invite you to take a look at All Saints Church. We have a great team of people who are involved in all aspects of the Church's life.

As a church we are passionate about enabling people to encounter the transforming and healing power of God through worship, preaching and prayer. The Christian faith is that Jesus has won for us a marvellous salvation and our job is to live in the Joy of what Christ has done for us. This is called Discipleship.

Our main service is at 10.30am. Each Sunday there is provision for children and young people, with their own groups which they go out to or in church. There is a children's and young families service at 9.30am on the second and fourth Sunday of each month, followed by refreshments. On third Sundays a 10.30am service happens with more time for worship and testimony. Most 10.30am services finish by 12.00pm with refreshments served afterwards. We involve children in worship as much as we can. On Sunday nights we have a youth group, God Squad, that starts at 7.00pm in Church. Each Monday we have our Cafe from 2.00pm until 4.00pm.

Each Sunday we have more than 70 people attending our regular Sunday services. Our 8.00am service is every Sunday and it's an opportunity for worship following the 1662 BCP Prayer book or Common Worship. We have over 100 people on our Electoral roll and there is room for more! Homegroups meet Monday, Thursday and Friday.

We have an induction loop for those hard of hearing, and large print books are available. We use TNIV Bibles and multimedia on most worship services. Our building is wheelchair friendly in that there are no steps. We only have one designated parking bay next to the Church but there are more next to the Parish Hall. Our accessible toilet is open during and after service times and ready for use.

Why not find out more by getting in touch or come and see us, as together we discover what it means to be a people discovering and rediscovering how good God is and the salvation he has won for us on the Cross
