About Our Church

Who We Are

The proper name of our parish is Holy Trinity, Poulton-le-Sands with St Laurence, Morecambe. The church is usually known locally as Morecambe Parish Church.

We are a community of people, who are part of the Church of England, serving the central area of Morecambe. We have a regular Sunday attendance of about 100 adults and 30 children, worshipping at 3 services on a Sunday as well as midweek. 

Regular activities take place through the week for both our church members and the wider community, offering many opportunities to get involved. Click here for highlights of what's coming up, or get a copy of the latest notice sheet from church.
