Welcome to
St Cuthbert's Church
St Cuthbert's is steeped in history, our church being the oldest public building in Southport, and often regarded as the "Mother Church of Southport".
We may be an historic church, and our heritage is important to us, but so is our future.
Our church family offers a very warm welcome to everyone to share in the good news of Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.
We are here for everyone whether you worship regularly with us, only occasionally or even not at all.
We aim to welcome everyone to share in our Church life, to be here to help you celebrate your weddings and basptisms and to offer support and comfort at times of bereavement.
As you browse through our website, using the menu at the top of the page, we hope you will get a "feel" for St Cuthbert's - our worship, fellowship, mission and activities.
The boxes at the bottom of this page will also keep you bang up to date with worship, events and news.
We would love to welcome you and get to know you more.

A Statement Concerning The Bishop of Liverpool
You may have heard about the recent Channel 4 programme. A statement can be viewed on the Diocese website.
The following has been taken from channel 4
Tonight the Bishop of Liverpool told us:
“I have consistently denied the allegations made against me by both complainants. I have complied with any investigation from the National Safeguarding Team.
Whilst I don’t believe I have done anything wrong, I have taken seriously the lessons learnt through this process addressing how my actions can be perceived by others.
I will comply with any investigation deemed necessary. I take safeguarding very seriously”.
A Church of England spokesperson said::
“The complaint was made after Bishop John had legally become Bishop of Liverpool. The National Safeguarding Team…concluded there were no ongoing safeguarding concerns, but a learning outcome was identified with which the Bishop fully engaged.
The information from the second complainant was assessed not to be a safeguarding matter but a matter of alleged misconduct. Pastoral support has been provided throughout for the second complainant and is ongoing.
The second complainant did not bring a Clergy Discipline Measure complaint within the one-year deadline. She later applied for permission to bring it after the deadline, which the Archbishop of York fully supported. However, this was refused by an independent judge, the Deputy President of Tribunals.”

A Prayer for Ukraine
God of peace and justice,
we pray for the people of Ukraine today.
We pray for peace and the laying down of weapons.
We pray for all those who fear for tomorrow,
that your Spirit of comfort would draw near to them.
We pray for those with power over war or peace,
for wisdom, discernment and compassion to guide their decisions.
Above all, we pray for all your precious children, at risk and in fear,
that you would hold and protect them.
We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace.
Amen
Archbishop Justin Welby
