Welcome to St Wilfrid's
We are the local Church of England parish for Cowplain and part of Horndean, near Waterlooville in Hampshire. We’re a welcoming church for all ages and stage of life. Whether you've always gone to church, or if you've never been before, you'll find a huge welcome and a place here that is perfect for you.
Each Sunday in Church, our traditional Holy Communion service is at 9am, and our SUNDAYS @ 11 informal service is for all ages and stages in life - it's certainly suitable for families and children. There's a great welcome with refreshments after each of these services.
On Thursdays, our 10.30am Holy Communion service is traditional yet informal - and a great place to be.
We are now opening St Wilfrid's Church for individual prayer daily from 8.30am to 5pm.
Please follow us on Facebook @stwilfridscowplain where we are posting our latest news, information and videos.
As Christians we believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He’s alive and wants to help us all through the ups and downs of life. Being a Christian is the best possible way of living!
