HELLO!

We're so glad you're here! 

The Parish of Four Saints is a large Church of England parish to the north of Bournemouth, Dorset just over a mile from beautiful, award winning beaches. We serve about 37,000 people across the parish with three secondary schools and numerous primary schools within our boundary. 

​

We have Four beautiful churches in our care, St Francis of Assisi, Charminster, St John the Baptist, Moordown, St Luke, Winton and St Alban, Charminster. We are rooted and grounded in what is known as the 'Liberal-Catholic' and Anglo-Catholic traditions which means that we often have services where the priest wears robes, have a choir and servers and when we can use incense. However, we also like to mix it up a bit with things like Lego Church, Pastries & Prayer and Taizé Prayer.  But it's not all about Sunday here! We like to use our amazing spaces to do things a bit differently and work in and with the local community.

 

We have a wide variety of services and where we can we livestream our services. They can be found on both our Facebook page and YouTube Channel (accessed through the buttons towards the bottom of each page - or search 'Four Saints Bournemouth'). The parish calendar can be found both via a menu item at the top of the page and also at the bottom of the 'What goes on' page (accessed HERE). Our usual Sunday and midweek service pattern can be found by clicking HERE.
