Welcome to St Columba’s Church

We are a friendly and welcoming church in the heart of Wideopen, also serving Seaton Burn and North Gosforth, with a congregation drawn from across these communities and beyond. We welcome all in Christ’s name. We are part of the Christ the King Team Parish.

Verse of the Day

Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”

What’s Going On

We are open for services on Sunday and Wednesday:no need to book, just come along

Our Sunday service is also online from 10am on Sunday, and there is coffee and tea and conversation after each service

Wideopen Wellbeing – a warm hub!

Open to all – you will be welcome to come along for a tea/coffee, conversation and a variety of activities (crafts, quizzes, board games, and massage), as well as puzzles and newspapers if you prefer a quieter option. 10-12 Mondays every week through the winter!

 

Thank you for your continuing support for St Columba’s through this challenging time and we will continue to pray for you all in the weeks ahead.
‘All shall be well, all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well’ – Julian of Norwich writing at the time of the Black Death.

We are at a critical moment for the health of our planet – and for the future particularly of our children and grandchildren. This year we are aiming to do more activities to highlight the importance of our environment. We will keep you posted.

A warm and Inclusive welcome

We are very pleased to report that we are now recognised as part of Inclusive Church  – a network of churches, groups and individuals uniting together around a shared vision:

“We believe in inclusive Church – a church which celebrates and affirms every person and does not discriminate. We will continue to challenge the church where it continues to discriminate against people on grounds of disability, economic power, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, learning disability, mental health, neurodiversity, or sexuality. We believe in a Church which welcomes and serves all people in the name of Jesus Christ; which is scripturally faithful; which seeks to proclaim the Gospel afresh for each generation; and which, in the power of the Holy Spirit, allows all people to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Jesus Christ.”
