Our vision is to be “A community following the way of Jesus that plays our part in the renewal of Allenton and Shelton Lock.”
About Us
St Ed’s is a growing Church of England church with a charismatic heart, welcoming people of all ages and backgrounds. Our vision is to be a community following the way of Jesus and playing our part in the renewal of Allenton and Shelton Lock.
Since 2023, we’ve been on a journey of revitalisation and renewed mission. We’re part of the HTB Network—a growing family of churches committed to the evangelisation of the nation, the revitalisation of the Church and the transformation of society.
As we follow Jesus together, we want everyone to encounter him, find a place to belong and learn to live his way in everyday life.
Living Out Our Vision…
Following Jesus
We want Jesus to be at the heart of everything we do. We make space to worship, pray, explore the Bible and learn how to follow him in everyday life.
Building Community
Church is more than attending a service. We want St Ed’s to be a community where people are welcomed, known, cared for and given opportunities to grow.
Playing our part in local renewal
We believe God cares deeply about Allenton and Shelton Lock. We want to serve our neighbourhoods, share the hope of Jesus and work alongside others to help our community flourish.
We are a local church in a local community, part of the Werb’s Network in Derby.
