We run regular courses to help people find out about Jesus and explore what it means to have faith.
Our main services in Lutterworth are at 11am on Sundays and 10.30am on Wednesdays. These are happening in person and being streamed online. We also have 9.30am services on alternate Sundays in our sister churches in Cotesbach and Bitteswell, as well as other services and activities happening on Sundays and during the week. For more details, visit our calendar.
The church building is usually open for visitors from 10am-midday (Tuesday to Saturday) for refreshments, a friendly chat, or simply to have a look at some of the building’s history. Occasionally, our building isn’t accessible during our opening times because of funerals, weddings, school visits or other activities. If you are visiting for a special occasion, are travelling far, or would like to look around outside of our normal opening hours, please get in touch with our Church Office to confirm a good time to visit (office@wycliffefellowship.org or 01455 558797).
Services and Upcoming Events
We’d love to welcome you to one of our services or events. In Lutterworth, our main services are on Sunday at 11am and Wednesday at 10.30am (a traditional service of Holy Communion).
Sunday @ 11 is an informal service every Sunday at 11am at St Mary’s Church in Lutterworth. It includes contemporary music, Bible teaching and the opportunity for prayer and response. ‘Treehouse’ activities for children aged 3-11 also run during the service in the church café (with 0-2 year olds welcome to join us with adult supervision). Toys, a crèche space and changing facilities are available for the very young. Refreshments are available all morning and we encourage people to stay after the service to chat and pray if helpful.
We also meet every Wednesday at 10.30am at St Mary’s Lutterworth. This gentle, traditional service of Holy Communion includes prayers, hymns, bible readings and a ‘thought for the day’. Bible readings are taken from the Common Worship Lectionary and follow the church’s year and seasons. Refreshments are served after the service in the café, which provides an opportunity for fellowship.
We have many other activities during the week too and additional services on Sundays. For details of what is happening this week, take a look at our calendar.

History
Lutterworth has played its part in world history. As the workplace of John Wycliffe – Bible translator – and later Frank Whittle – designer of the jet engine – the impact of our small town has been seen the world over. This building has stood at the heart of the community for over 800 years and is a place of memory for local families and an evangelical pilgrimage for Christians from across the world.
