The medieval building of All Saints' in the heart of Loughton in Milton Keynes is home to a lively family church. Our main Sunday service is an informal family service, with Holy Communion usually twice a month, at 9:30am. Many people stay on for tea, coffee and soft drinks after the service, and on some Sundays we run a fair trade stall.

There is also a Holy Communion service using the Book of Common Prayer every Sunday at 8:00am.

For more pictures of our church, see our picture gallery.

All Saints' is part of the Watling Valley Partnership: Anglican, Methodist, United Reformed Church and Baptist Union sharing in worship together.

On our website you'll find details of services and events in Partnership churches, as well as useful information about weddings and baptisms
