Welcome to St Michael's Church, Woburn Sands
We're a warm and welcoming Christian community with lively services and a growing range of activities to suit people of all ages.

Our Vision
We have just developed a statement of our vision for St Michael’s:
It’s not intended to be the last word! Just like ourselves, our vision is still a “work in progress”.
We’re very ambitious. We really believe that, with the help of God, everyone can do something to make a difference – for good! We’re not content to live with problems, pain, and suffering, whether on our doorstep or the other side of the world. And we’re naïve enough to think that the cynics and doom mongers have got it wrong.. that the world hasn’t gone to the dogs.. that we can all make a difference - if we work together and get on with it.
Our Sunday services are at 9.45 am. Please see the calendar or contact us for other services and activities.
Be sure to visit our website for full details of all news and events at St Michael's
