Who We Are

St Chad's Ladybarn is member of Inclusive Church and offers worship, prayer and mutual spiritual support in the Liberal Catholic Tradition. Our Sunday congregations are diverse in age, nationality, and ethnicity.

Our main Sunday service is the Parish Eucharist at 10.00am, using the contemporary language liturgy from Common Worship. 

We offer regular groups for bible study, discipleship, wide-ranging discussion.

Our children's corner provides space and craft activities within the main body of the church allowing parents and carers to still participate in the service.

There is Fair Trade tea, coffee and biscuits in the Community Hall after the Sunday Eucharist.
You can download our welcome leaflet here.
