Welcome everyone to Waltham church's page!
A 13th Century Church for 21st Century people. Welcome to our church! We have a range of different styles of ‘doing church’ which are suitable for all ages, from traditional church services to fresh expressions of church such as Messy Church and Café Church. We regularly run courses via Zoom including Alpha/The Bible Course, Christianity/Discipleship Explored, Lyfe etc – if you would like to know more about exploring faith then please contact Mike or Chris Alexander (01664 464802) or email at wee3alexander@btinternet.com. The church building is open for private prayer every day from 930am until around 3pm The church is now open for services though we are remaining cautious and mask wearing is still in place whilst singing for the moment. On the 1st Sunday of each month at 3pm, we hold Café Church where you can chat about the theme of the day over a cuppa and delicious cake - songs and crafts as well.
