Welcome to our 'A Church Near You' page for St Leonard's Langho, we're very glad that you came to visit to find a bit more out about us.

We're a friendly congregation of diverse ages and backgrounds from babies through to 90 year olds worshipping together in a small but pretty church building in the stunning surroundings of the Ribble Valley.

At our 10.30am service we have a lovely Children's Corner (within the main church building) with weekly craft activities based on that week's Gospel reading, story and activity bags are also available. There's also refreshments available after this service to give everyone time to catch up with each other over a tea or coffee and to make new friends.

Our 9.15am service is a quiet, reflective said traditional Book of Common Prayer Eucharist service.
10.30am is a more lively family modern service using Common Worship with hymns and choir. Little ones are welcome to wander around and we don't mind how much noise they make. It's their way of worshipping God!

We have a fabulous relationship with our amazing church school next door and do lots of activities together. We take the safeguarding of all members of the church extremely seriously.
