Carreg Llwyd Church

We are an Independent Church in the UK made up of about 270 people worshipping in the market town of Oswestry, Shropshire.

The Church began in 1964 providing a spiritual and social presence on a housing estate. Our current Mission statement seeks to continue to reflect that purpose:

"Seeking to present the love of God in a relevant and practical manner by offering Spiritual and social support to the local community, town and overseas"

Throughout the years the Church has provided for all ages of the community through a daily pre-school, parents and toddlers group, after school club, school holiday clubs, swap shop (bring one bag take home two) and luncheon club for over 50’s. It has provided a Christian bookshop in the town and “planted” another Church in the eastern side of Oswestry. It also has established a family center in the town - providing facilities for children, educational support for excluded children, drug rehabilitation and pregnancy counseling.

Our present congregation consists of a variety of ages with about 60 being under 20, 60 being over 60 and all the rest being somewhere in between. Our worship is of a modern style using songs from Songs of fellowship, Spring Harvest and Soul Survivor. We believe and practice full immersion baptism and are open to and encourage the exercising of spiritual gifts. As well as receiving teaching during the morning and evening services on a Sunday we also have 9 midweek home groups and a number of prayer groups in place. The youth regularly attend Soul Survivor and are encouraged to engage in short-term mission opportunities. The Church as a whole is a member of Evangelical Alliance and Churches Together in Oswestry and District (CTOD) and is in partnership with the Banyole people in Uganda
