Welcome to the web-site of St Oswald's church in Durham City.

This website is currently being revised and will be re-launched shortly.
Please visit this page again soon!

We are a Christian and Anglican community in the centre of the beautiful University and Cathedral city of Durham. (Click here to see.) Our congregation is made up from young and not-so-young people, all of whom share a love of Christ and the desire to grow in faith as a reflecting and active Christian community.

We hope that you find the information on this page useful and, if you are not a regular member of our community, that we may be able to welcome you to our church in the near future.
