TARPORLEY PARISH CHURCH
St Helen’s Church, in the centre of the village, serves the community of Tarporley.
The church is open for regular Sunday worship, and during the week, offering a place of peace and prayer.
Our Vision
We commit ourselves to worship God, and to serve Him in our community and the wider world; to grow in faith, as followers of Jesus Christ; and to reach out to share the Good News with others.
We aim to be a church which welcomes all, with services for all ages.
