Our Story

St Paul's has a long heritage in Daybrook. In 2021, we welcomed a new ministry team to partner with the existing congregation and bring renewed life to the parish. Drawing on experience of a variety of accessible and growing models of church, the team is passionate about exploring an expression of worship that holds together the depth, heritage, and civic role of the Church of England with contemporary forms of worship and discipleship.

​

In January 2022, St Paul’s launched a new series of contemporary services to complement the existing 9.30am traditional communion service (see the Our Services page for details). The vision for St Paul’s extends far beyond Sunday worship. The church seeks to be a place of peace, hospitality, creativity, and welcome—equipping people to live lives of worship in their everyday lives and to be a blessing to the wider community.

​

The Day Brook, which runs through the parish, is a powerful symbol for this vision. Throughout the Bible, rivers represent God’s Spirit bringing refreshment and new life, even in dry places. St Paul’s seeks to partner with God in being a life-giving, hopeful presence within Daybrook and beyond.
