Sundays
Sundays are when we gather as family, encounter Jesus and learn to follow him together.
Come and (re)try church
Whether you’re non-religious, a little bit curious, returning to church after many years, or looking for a church to call home, you are so welcome at St Philip’s.
We don’t expect you to know the Bible, know how to pray, understand everything that happens or know the words to the songs. Simply come as you are—we’d love to welcome you.
You’ll find us at St Philip’s Church, Taddington Road, Chaddesden, Derby, DE21 4JU
