Welcome to St Oswald’s Church

The church serves a rural village community within leafy Cheshire. It is deeply historic, very beautiful and in the most wonderful setting.  St Oswald’s is at the end of “The Cobbles” (which is, as it says, a traditional cobbled road), it is a wonderful, much-loved, black and white timber framed building, set is a beautiful churchyard, close to the Bells of Peover Pub, and enjoying the spectacular back-drop of open fields and the Peover Eye river.

This website contains information about the history of the church, its worship, the services of baptism (Christening) and marriage, (how to them plan and what they mean), and the planning of a funeral service. There is also a church diary of services and events, and articles on Christian faith and living the Christian life.  The church is very much part of its local community and so the website gives details of fund raising and social events, as well as details of any major projects the church is undertaking.

The opportunity to learn and grow as Christians is not just confined to Sunday and mid-week worship. There is a Bible study group which meets three times a year for six sessions to explore a book of the Bible in more detail. This is a welcoming and friendly group which gathers to talk about the scriptures and to learn from each another.

 Alpha courses are held from time to time for those who wish to explore faith more fully in a small supportive group. The Pilgrim course is also offered  for those who wish to deepen their approach to discipleship.
