What is Pakefield Church?
We are a Christian family who worship God,
care for one another and the local community
and reach out to encourage others
to know Jesus and his love.
Pakefield Church is open every day from 9am to 6pm. You
are welcome to come and meet with God, to enjoy the
peace and quiet and to spend time in prayer.
If you wish to remember the life of a loved one, you can
light a candle in St Margaret’s, and leave a prayer request
in the box there.

and brought healing with his touch:
help us to show his love,

into the image of Christ our Lord.
