We are a down-to-earth and welcoming church with a heart for community and a calling to work with children, young people and families. Rooted in worship and fuelled by love, we are looking for someone to join us in shaping the future — building belonging, faith, and hope across generations.

About St Simon and St Jude, Earl Shilton

St Simon and St Jude is a warm, welcoming church where all are embraced. We are a lively, growing congregation with a strong sense of family, made up of people from all walks of life. Although many of our members are older, there is a shared, heartfelt desire to nurture children, young people and families in faith. Our congregation is committed to being an outward-looking church, celebrating the presence of all generations worshipping and growing together. Moments of connection across age groups — such as our lively all-age services, church trips to Spring Harvest, ‘faith tea’ — are deeply valued, and we see great potential for developing intergenerational ministry even further. At the heart of our church is our worship of the Lord — lifting our voices heavenward and being challenged into thought, word and deed. Alongside worship, we invest energy in being a welcoming and friendly place for all ages, making everyone feel part of the church family.
