Welcome to St Cuthbert's Church

St Cuthbert's is steeped in history, our church being the oldest public building in Southport, and often regarded as the  "Mother Church of Southport". 

We may be an historic church, and our heritage is important to us, but so is our future.

Our church family offers a very warm welcome to everyone to share in the good news of Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. 

We are here for everyone whether you worship regularly with us, only occasionally or even not at all.

We aim to welcome everyone to share in our Church life, to be here to help you celebrate your weddings and basptisms and to offer support and comfort at times of bereavement. 

 As you browse through our website, using the menu at the top of the page, we hope you will get a "feel" for St Cuthbert's - our worship, fellowship, mission and activities. 

We would love to welcome you and get to know you more.
