Welcome

Welcome to St. Nicholas Website. We hope you find what you are looking for. Please do not hesitate to contact us! We will be very pleased to hear from you.

God bless.

 

St. Nicholas Parish Church stands at the heart of the community of Newport. Its location is very central to the town centre. We are pleased to serve the whole town of Newport throughout each year in differing ways.

Our mission statement is putting Jesus at the heart of community through worship, love and sharing hope.

 
There is much to discover. Much about God. Much about ourselves. Much about the Community of Newport and Shropshire. Much about the history of this beautiful building that goes back almost a thousand years.
 
Every Sunday is special. We have special Civic / Community times of Worship throughout the year.
 
The church is always open a quarter of an hour before services and you are very welcome to join us in fellowship with refreshments after each service. 
 
The Church and town work carefully and successfully together in many and various ways, and have done so for many years.
 
Safeguarding: St Nicholas Church is committed to Safeguarding and has adopted the National and Diocesan Safeguarding Policies. Our safeguarding policy for adults and children is available here. Our Safeguarding Coordinator is William Pickering and can be contacted on 07402 861571.
 
Many visitors grace this beautiful church which serves the community of Newport.
It is a place of true spiritual beauty.
You are most welcome!

Vacancy

 

We are currently in a period of vacancy and keep the following prayer close in our hearts and minds:
 

Almighty God, by whose Spirit the whole body of the church is governed and sanctified, hear our prayer for our parish and the congregation of St. Nicholas.

 

Give us discernment to recognise the gifts and ministries you have given to us together with the grace to exercise them in harmony with one another and for the good of all.


May we have patience in awaiting the appointment and arrival of a new leader for our parish, and give support to those responsible for choosing that person.


Finally, may we trust you, the God of faithfulness and generosity, to guide us through this time of transition and change, so that we are ready to enter a new chapter in the life of our parish for the glory of your Name and the furtherance of your kingdom. This we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. 


Amen.
