Buckley Cross - We’re so glad that you’ve found us today, whether you are just visiting, passing through, exploring faith, looking for a new church or just curious. We consider ourselves a growing church, in that we seek to grow in faith and in our relationship with Jesus. We are seeking to grow too in opportunities to be active in our local community and the wider world, and part of being a welcoming church is seeking ways to reach out to others with acts of kindness, help and love.
Worship
Morning: 10.30am Worship at Buckley Cross is at 10.30am weekly and whilst mainly traditional, does embrace contemporary aspects and enjoys trying and learning new things in worship.
We have recently installed two flat screen televisions through which we project our service, as we seek to be inclusive and offer as much opportunity to engage fully in worship as possible.
There is also Sunday School at 10.30am (Fortnightly)
The church has a loop system for those with hearing aids

Anti-Poverty
The church has recently studied the Life on the Breadline material and has signed up to the Anti-Poverty Charter, intending to use this as a tool to develop the churches mission to the marginalised and to challenge poverty and structural inequality and injustice
Dementia Friendly
Buckley Cross has recently accepted the invitation to be one of several groups around Buckley that seek to be dementia friendly. This will involve us looking closely at our buildings to ensure that they meet the needs of those with dementia, as well as seeking to provide social and worship-based events for those with dementia and those caring for them to share with us and with each other.
