She decided to develop this with the creation of a service entirely formed by young people using Minecraft. This was used as the Diocesan weekly service in August. You can watch it here: Hereford Diocese It quickly developed into a monthly Minecraft club where children and young people could join a Minecraft world and discuss a bible story or theme, tell the […] ## Pages - [Bellringing at All Saints](https://westhereford.org.uk/our-churches/all-saints/bellringing-at-all-saints/): Welcome to the belltower at All Saints, Hereford!

The piano is the property of the Hereford Cider Museum Trust, and is available for use by professional recitalists, serious amateurs, and educational establishments. Made in Hamburg in 2003, the piano was personally selected by the distinguished virtuoso recitalist Martino Tirimo, who described it as “one of the best instruments I have played.” It was decided to locate the piano at Holy Trinity because of the building’s fine acoustics, the easy accessibility and central location of the site, and because Holy Trinity PCC could provide the administrative systems needed to make it […] - [Giving](https://westhereford.org.uk/giving/): Supporting the life and work of the West Hereford Team. Giving is part of how we follow Jesus, not a separate obligation attached to it. It’s one of the ordinary, everyday practices that shapes a life of faith, alongside prayer and worship — and everything you’ve read across this site, from Bill’s Kitchen to the choir to Quiet Days at Breinton, is made possible by people who give.

Walking into somewhere new, where everyone else seems to already know each other and know what’s going on, can feel daunting. It’s a completely normal thing to feel. If you don’t know anyone, don’t let that put you off. There will be someone on hand to say hello and help you find your feet. If you’d like to find out a bit more about what we’re about before you come, our Priest in Charge Jonathan has written a short welcome that’s worth a read.

There is never enough time. Families are under impossible pressure. The phone in our pocket promises company and delivers exhaustion. There must be a better way. Come and See is a short, honest introduction to Jesus of Nazareth and his way of life, written by our Priest in Charge, Jonathan Widdess. It starts with the tiredness most of us already recognise, a couple staring at their phones instead of each other, a young family too exhausted to pray. From there it tells the story Jesus told about a shepherd who goes looking for one […] - [Spiritual Formation](https://westhereford.org.uk/spiritual-formation/): Head, heart, hands. Becoming like Jesus, for the sake of others. Christian faith isn’t mainly a set of beliefs to sign up to. It’s a lifetime of learning to live like Jesus, for the sake of the people around us, our street, our neighbours, the person we’d rather avoid. That takes time, and it happens best alongside other people, not alone. Below are a few of the ways we help each other take that further, whatever stage you’re at.

The West Hereford Team brings together All Saints, Holy Trinity, and St Michael’s, three churches with their own character, serving the city centre, a residential neighbourhood, and a village on the edge of Hereford. We’re one team, and we’ve chosen to stay together because we’re stronger for it.

We’re inviting everyone to take part in something simple and powerful. Your gift will help us get ready for the future, including the installation of solar panels and new, beautiful, energy-efficient lighting throughout the church. This is part of the wider All Saints Futures Project. Give a Square Metre of Light £100 sponsors one square metre of new lighting in All Saints. We need to light approximately 350 square metres, which means we’re asking your help to raise £35,000 of the £700,000+ we […] - [All Saints Futures Project](https://westhereford.org.uk/our-churches/all-saints/all-saints-futures-project/): A church for today. A vision for tomorrow. All Saints has stood at the heart of the city for centuries. It has witnessed baptisms and funerals, celebrations and crises, moments of great joy and profound sorrow. Through changing times, it has remained a place of prayer, welcome and hope. Today, that ministry continues in new ways. All Saints is open seven days a week. Worship remains at its heart, while visitors, community groups, schools, concert audiences and café customers bring life to the building every day. But buildings like this don’t look after themselves. The systems installed a generation ago are […] - [Formation Resources](https://westhereford.org.uk/formation-resources/): A few places to go deeper. None of what follows is required reading. These are simply things that have shaped how we think about becoming more like Jesus, offered in case they’re useful to you too. Practicing the Way Practicing the Way is both a book and a free set of resources, built around a simple idea: to be with Jesus, become like him, and do as he did. It draws on the ancient practices of the Christian faith, prayer, fasting, silence, community, and translates them for ordinary, busy lives. The website offers free courses, a podcast, and practical guides for […] - [Calling Banns for a Wedding Elsewhere](https://westhereford.org.uk/life-events/calling-banns/): For couples living here, marrying elsewhere. If you live within the parishes of All Saints, Holy Trinity, or St Michael’s, but you’re getting married in a different church, you’ll usually still need your banns read here, in your home parish, as well as in the church where the wedding is taking place. What Are Banns? Banns are a public announcement of your intention to marry, read aloud during a Sunday service on three occasions before the wedding. They give anyone with a lawful reason why the marriage shouldn’t go ahead the opportunity to say so, and they’re one of the ways […] - [Getting Baptised as an Adult](https://westhereford.org.uk/life-events/adult-baptism/): Thinking About Being Baptised? Some people are baptised as children. Others come to faith later in life and want to be baptised as adults, publicly committing themselves to Christ for the first time. If that’s you, we’d love to walk with you through it. Baptism as an adult is different from a christening. It isn’t something that happens for you or is done on your behalf. It’s something you choose, having decided for yourself that you want to follow Jesus. How It Works We want the process to be warm, relaxed and straightforward. Here’s what to expect. An initial chat We […] - [Events](https://westhereford.org.uk/events-2/): All our services and events in one place. The calendar below updates automatically as new dates are added. If the calendar doesn’t display properly on your device, or you’d rather speak to someone directly, please get in touch. - [West Hereford Team News](https://westhereford.org.uk/news/) - [A Welcome from Jonathan](https://westhereford.org.uk/welcome/): Life moves fast, and it rarely asks permission. Most of us are tired in a way that a good night’s sleep doesn’t fix. We’ve found something else here: the unhurried life Jesus offers — a way of living steady enough to move through a hurried world without being ruled by it. People sometimes ask what we’re actually trying to do here, across three such different churches. The honest answer is simpler than it sounds. We want to become like Jesus. Not better versions of ourselves. Not a tidier life. An apprentice learns by staying close to the master, watching how he […] - [Safeguarding](https://westhereford.org.uk/safeguarding/): IF SOMEONE IS IN IMMEDIATE RISK OR DANGER PLEASE CONTACT THE POLICE ON 999.

Clergy, lay ministers, and staff — drawn from across our three churches, and glad to be here. Clergy Retired Clergy We are deeply grateful for the ministry of the retired priests who celebrate, preach, and pastor across the Team. Licensed Lay Ministers Other Staff and Volunteers Office Our team office is based at Holy Trinity and staffed by two part-time administrators, Fiona and Julia. If you would like to speak to a particular member of the team, please contact the office and we will put you in touch. - [Services & Prayer](https://westhereford.org.uk/services-and-prayer/): When and where we worship across the West Hereford Team. If you’ve never been to one of our services before, you’d be very welcome to come and see. There’s no need to dress up, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t know what to do. Come as you are. There’s no need to be anyone other than yourself. Sunday Worship All Saints, Hereford City Centre 9.30am Sung Mass. Within the inclusive Anglo-Catholic tradition. Vestments, incense, and the rhythm of the Church’s year. Coffee and tea available afterwards. Holy Trinity, Whitecross Road 11.00am Choral Eucharist. Sung by our choir under the direction […] - [Walking Together](https://westhereford.org.uk/walking-together/): Head, heart, hands. Becoming like Jesus, for the sake of others. Christian faith is not a transaction. It is an apprenticeship. A slow, patient becoming. We are not making converts. We are walking together — being reshaped by the Spirit, over years, into the kind of people who carry something of Jesus into the world. This is who we want to be, across our three churches. Not a programme. A way of life. What We Mean by Formation Most of us already know what we believe, more or less. What we long for is for our believing to make a difference […] - [Credo](https://westhereford.org.uk/walking-together/credo/): Most of us know what we don’t believe. Christian faith is harder to get hold of. The words are familiar, God, Jesus, Spirit, prayer, church, but what do they actually mean, and could they mean anything for me? If you’d rather start with something shorter first, Come and See is a short book that makes a good first step. Credo is six weekly sessions to find out. Each week brings a short talk, honest discussion, and a simple practice to try through the week ahead. Nothing to prepare, nothing to get right. Who It’s For You don’t need to believe anything […] - [Sermons and Booklets](https://westhereford.org.uk/sermons/): We record some of our sermons and make them available here. Some are preached at All Saints, some at Holy Trinity, some at St Michael’s. Some will be by Jonathan, and other members of the team, some by visiting preachers. All are offered in the hope that something will speak to you wherever you are. Listen If you’d like to revisit a sermon you heard in church but can’t find it here, please get in touch and we’ll do our best to track it down. - [Contact](https://westhereford.org.uk/contact/): We would love to hear from you. However you prefer to get in touch, we are here. The Team Office The Vicarage Our office is attached to the Vicarage, Vowles Close, Hereford HR4 0DF, and is open every weekday morning. If we cannot answer the phone, please leave a message or send an email and we will come back to you as soon as we can. A Quick Message - [Baptisms](https://westhereford.org.uk/life-events/baptisms/): Thinking About a Christening? Having a child is an exciting time. If you’re thinking about a christening, also known as baptism, we’d love to celebrate with you. A christening is a moment to celebrate God’s love for your child, welcome them into the family of the Church, pray for them, and give thanks for the gift of new life, surrounded by family, friends and the church community. How It Works We want the process to be warm, relaxed and straightforward. Here’s what to expect. An initial chat We start with an informal conversation, perhaps over a cup of tea or a […] - [Weddings](https://westhereford.org.uk/life-events/weddings/): Love. Given forever. A church wedding is a beautiful thing. Vows made before God, surrounded by the people who matter, in a building that has held the prayers and promises of generations. A wedding in church is more than a beautiful setting. You make your promises before God as well as to each other, and ask for something no couple can give themselves: the strength to keep going when things are hard, and the grace to forgive when you get it wrong. Marriage, like the rest of the Christian life, is a slow apprenticeship. You learn to love someone the way […] - [St Nicholas', Hereford](https://westhereford.org.uk/st-nicholas/): St Nicholas’ Church closed for regular worship in December 2024. Its parish is now served by Holy Trinity, which has become the parish church for the former St Nicholas’ parish, and worshippers from St Nicholas’ have found a warm welcome there. A Potted History St Nicholas’ has ancient roots. The church is mentioned in the Letters and Charters of Gilbert Foliot as early as 1155, and by the time John Leland passed through Hereford in 1539, it was recorded as one of just four parish churches within the city walls. The building most recently in use was erected in 1841, on […] - [All Saints, Hereford City Centre](https://westhereford.org.uk/our-churches/all-saints/): Where the sacred and the ordinary meet. All Saints stands at the heart of Hereford. It is ancient, beautiful, and open seven days a week. After a major restoration in 1997, the church reopened as a worshipping community and a living presence at the centre of city life. For six days a week, Bill’s Kitchen, our resident café, offers coffee and welcome alongside the congregation’s daily rhythm of prayer. Bill’s is closed on Sundays, though we do serve refreshments after the service. Hundreds pass through each week. Some come seeking God. Some come seeking coffee. Many carry burdens we will never […] - [Holy Trinity, Whitecross Road](https://westhereford.org.uk/our-churches/holy-trinity/): A church for the local community, shaped by music, and a warm welcome. Holy Trinity sits on the western side of Hereford, serving a mixed and lively parish — social housing and privately owned homes, long-established families and newer arrivals. A community with a strong sense of identity, shaped by local schools, by neighbours who have known one another for years. Music gives Holy Trinity its particular character. Under our Director of Music, Ewan Murray, the choir continues to flourish: an intergenerational group bringing beauty and depth to our worship each week. The church is regularly used as a rehearsal and […] - [St Michael's, Breinton](https://westhereford.org.uk/our-churches/st-michaels/): A place of peace, rooted in the rhythms of village life. St Michael’s sits at the heart of Breinton, a beautiful village on the western edge of Hereford, bordered by orchards, footpaths, and the River Wye. It has been woven into the rhythms of village life for generations. People may not come every Sunday, but they hold St Michael’s in deep affection and turn to it at moments of celebration, remembrance, and need. The setting is part of the ministry. St Michael’s is a place of peace and stillness, where the landscape and the building work together to draw people gently […] - [Faith in Art](https://westhereford.org.uk/our-churches/all-saints/faith-in-art/): Where creativity and faith meet. Faith in Art is All Saints’ creative heart — a group for local artists, run by Mel Carter, our Local Volunteer Missioner. It began from a simple conviction: that beauty points beyond itself, and that making things well is itself a kind of prayer. We hold regular workshops and exhibitions in the Nave, open to artists of any experience and any tradition, working in any medium. Some who take part have a strong faith. Some have none at all. Both are welcome, and the conversations that happen between the two are often the best part. Workshops: […] - [Bill's Kitchen](https://westhereford.org.uk/our-churches/all-saints/bills-kitchen/): A café at the heart of the city, and at the heart of the church. Bill’s Kitchen sits inside All Saints itself — proof that the sacred and the ordinary really can share a roof. It serves good coffee and food to hundreds of people each week: shoppers, workers, visitors, and worshippers alike, many of whom might never otherwise step inside a church. The café is commercially run, and the parish benefits financially from its success, but its value goes well beyond income. It is often where conversations begin that lead somewhere deeper — a listening ear over a coffee, a […] - [Praying the Rosary](https://westhereford.org.uk/our-churches/all-saints/praying-the-rosary/): We often think of praying the Rosary as a uniquely Roman Catholic practice. What a lot of people don’t realise is that the Rosary has deep roots in the early church, and that many thousands of Anglicans pray it every day here in the UK. At All Saints there is a Rosary Group that meets at 12.10pm each Monday to pray together. We meet and discuss the issues we’d like to pray for, then hold them before God as we step through the simple and beautiful prayers of the Rosary. We use the Rosary as a scaffold for our prayers, and […] - [The Choir](https://westhereford.org.uk/our-churches/holy-trinity/the-choir/): Music at the heart of Holy Trinity. Holy Trinity’s choir sings at the 11.00am Choral Eucharist most Sundays, under the direction of our Director of Music, Ewan Murray. It’s a genuinely intergenerational group, with singers ranging from age eight to eighty, and its sound has become one of Holy Trinity’s great gifts to the wider city. We’re always on the lookout for young singers aged eight and above with a passion for singing, as well as new adult members. The choir helps lead the congregation in worship each Sunday morning during term-time, singing hymns, psalms, and choir pieces, eleven months of […] - [CHATT](https://westhereford.org.uk/our-churches/holy-trinity/chatt/): Tea, cake, and conversation. Homemade sandwiches and some of the best cakes you’ll ever eat. Our monthly community afternoon tea is a chance to slow down, put the world aside for an hour, and enjoy good company over a cuppa. For some, it’s a pleasant afternoon out. For others, it’s become a genuine lifeline against isolation. Real friendships grow over a shared table here. When: 2.30pm–4.00pm, on the dates belowWhere: Holy Trinity Church, Whitecross Road No need to book. No need to have been before. Just turn up. CHATT Dates 2026 - [Our Churches](https://westhereford.org.uk/our-churches/): Three churches, one calling. All Saints stands in the city centre, Holy Trinity is on Whitecross Road, and St Michael’s sits in the village of Breinton. Each has its own character. What holds us together is Jesus. We’re three congregations trying to become more like him, and we’ve found we do that better together than apart. Whoever you are, you are welcome here. Together We want to become like Jesus, and to help you do the same, in whichever of our churches feels like home. Please do get in touch, or simply come and find us. To see what’s on this […] - [Funerals](https://westhereford.org.uk/life-events/funerals/): Giving thanks, and letting go. Losing someone we love is one of the hardest things we face. We are here, and we would like to help. A funeral is a chance to give thanks for a life, to grieve openly, and — if only for an hour — to find a place where the weight of loss can be held by something larger than ourselves. We conduct funeral services in any of our three churches and at the crematorium. Whether your loved one had a strong faith, a quiet faith, or no faith at all, we will work with you to […] - [Life Events](https://westhereford.org.uk/life-events/): Some of the most important moments bring people to the door of a church.
