St Crispin's is a Church that is Biblically Christ-Centred in its preaching. We have a strong sense of the need for prayer and the need to study God's Word. Our worship tries to be informal using a mixture of modern and traditional hymns.
We try to provide for families although this is an area that we hope God will help us grow. If you have ideas or suggestions that might help, we'd love to hear from you.
There has been a church for over sixty years but we became a parish in our own right on 1st November 2008. We have recently begun a new partnership with St. Andrew's, Leicester Forest East as part of the Meridian Cross Benefice, and we are looking forward to discovering how our mission and ministry will continue to develop and evolve.
