About Us
We are a gathered congregation of friendly, welcoming people from across Darlington and the surrounding villages, who come together as a living witness to the love of God for us all. For the first 600 years of its life, St. Cuthbert's was the only church in Darlington, but now our parish boundary is extremely small, covering just the very centre of town. We warmly welcome newcomers and offer an extended welcome to hundreds of visitors from across the world.
Our church is more than a building - it is our people, and at St. Cuthbert's we work hard to serve the church and the wider community. Our vision for St. Cuthbert's is to:
- Transform lives - into followers of Jesus in every part of our lives
- Transform our building - into a vibrant hub of worship, mission and culture
- Be part of transforming our town through compassionate outreach
Our values at St. Cuthbert's are:
- Outward looking - we are outward looking in order to achieve the transformation we want to see.
- Courage - we have courage to take the opportunities God gives us
- Kindness - we are kind to each other.
- Generosity - We are generous with our time, our money, and have generous spirits with each other.
- Prayer - we are a people of prayer
- Joy - we are joyful and the joy of the Lord is our strength.
