St George's is here to serve the residents of Brockworth in Gloucestershire, UK.
Our mission statement is to journey in faith, and share God's love.
Our church is a community of faith, rooted in the love of God through Jesus Christ. We believe worship is not just found in prayer, it's expressed in everything we do and deeply rooted in the Bible.
Why not pay us a visit? There's a warm welcome waiting for everyone.
St George's Church building is of Norman foundation and can be found on the edge of the suburban village of Brockworth just off Court Road, next to Brockworth Court. We also have a church centre which contains our church office, a small chapel and a large hall with kitchen which is available for hire.
We have two acts of worship each Sunday, with a Eucharist at 9am in the church and an all-age 'messy church' gathering at 10.30am in the Church Centre.
