Welcome to Our Church: A Warm Welcome for Refugees & Asylum Seekers
At Cowley St John, we are dedicated to being a place of welcome, safety, and support for all, especially for those who have sought refuge and are beginning a new chapter in life. Whether you are passing through, settling in the area, or searching for a community to belong to, we are here for you.
A Community of Care and Friendship
We understand that leaving behind your home and starting afresh can be daunting. Our church is a space where you will find acceptance, kindness, and a sense of belonging. You don’t have to be a Christian to join us—our doors are open to everyone, regardless of your background, faith, or circumstances.
