Welcome

At the Eastcott Hill end of Dixon Street, opposite the former Gilberts Hill School, stands an imposing red brick church building. The Swindon Congregation of the Moravian Church has been worshipping God and reaching out from here to the local community since 1899. Throughout the decades, families in the streets around have gathered together here for marriages, christenings, and funerals; to celebrate at Christmas and Easter; to thank God for the annual harvest – and we hope that tradition may continue.

A small congregation still gathers here for Family Worship Sunday by Sunday, and there are other activities during the week.

You can be guaranteed a warm and friendly welcome – so please, come and join with the congregation, on a Sunday, or with anything else that’s going on...

What is Family Worship on Sunday mornings like?

Sunday Worship is relaxed but orderly. Like other churches, we sing hymns – both traditional and new. Prayers may come from set orders of service, or through “free prayer”. When we speak of “family worship”, we mean the church family and the community within which we are set – nobody is excluded.
