Churches in Braunston Parish

All Saints

High Street Braunston

A warm welcome to All Saints' Church in the parish of Braunston, Northamptonshire. Although close to Daventry we are very much a village church but one which has always extended a welcome to visitors and especially to those who come to us from the canals. The spire on the church building is a landmark from both road and waterways and attracts many visitors.

But beautiful and distinctive though our building is, a church is about far more than stone and stained glass. It is about relationships - how Christians in this place worship and serve God; how we serve our community; and how we try to put our money where our mouth is in terms of living out our faith as Jesus taught. Like most churches we are very much a work in progress and are always learning.

Like most churches we make mistakes and have our faults and foibles (we are too human by half!) but we want to be a church worthy of its founder and so we keep trying.

There may be many reasons why you are reading this. Perhaps you are looking for somewhere to arrange a baptism (christening) or a wedding. Or find out how to deal with a death. Perhaps you or someone you know needs prayer. Perhaps you want to find a place to worship and feel at home or perhaps you want to find out more about what it means to be a Christian today.

Whether you are looking for help, worship, history or salvation these and our website pages should give you a good start. But there is no substitute for the real thing - so get in touch or just drop in.

We look forward to seeing you!
