Style of Worship:
Our
worship style is Anglican Catholic using a mix of
contemporary and traditional liturgies and music.
We
celebrate the Festivals and Seasons of the Church Year
with style and enthusiasm and enjoy using ancient
English traditions of worship.
We have
three choirs (Antiphon, Baptistery and Junior) and our
choral tradition adds much to our worship.
The Church:
Gosforth
Parish Church stands on what is probably the oldest
church site in Newcastle with evidence suggesting that
in Saxon times it may have been the only church in the
area. We know the names of most of our parish clergy
from 1153. In 1798/9 the Newcastle architect John
Dobson rebuilt the church entirely in late Georgian
style. Since then there have been numerous adaptations
and enlargements but the building remains essentially a
Dobson building.
We are
very proud to have St. Nicholas as our patron saint and
we seek to imitate Nicholas in his care for one another
and creation.
We welcome people of all traditions, as well as
enquirers and seekers after faith, to share our life and
worship. Children and young people are welcome here and
we have a thriving Junior Church with many young
families. We hope we make everyone feel at home!
