A brief introduction to our parish, our churches and our beliefs

The Parish of Prestbury is on the northern outskirts of Cheltenham, in Gloucestershire. As well as the village of Prestbury, it covers the area west of the Evesham Road, including much of Pittville and the Wyman's Brook estate.      [more and map]

Of our two churches, St Mary's is in the village centre, and St Nicolas' on Swindon Lane.

We believe in a loving God, who cares for every person.

In our church worship we bring to him our whole lives, giving thanks for good things and asking help for difficulties.

As Christians, we try to show to others the same love and acceptance as we have received from God through Jesus Christ.

If you would like to spend some quiet time in church, both St Mary's and St Nicolas' are usually open on weekdays in term time between 10 and 3.

Or you might like to attend a service. You will be very welcome whenever you come, but you will not be put under pressure to commit yourself more than you want.

Within the Church of England, the parish has responsibility for the spiritual welfare of everyone living in that area, working in collaboration with fellow Christians of other denominations.
