A small but welcoming congregation of all ages, with a breadth of church backgrounds - not all Anglicans!  We have a Family Service once a month, a Morning Worship Service once a month, and two Parish Eucharists a month.  Very much part of the Middleton Community we are pleased to celebrate the high points of the village's year with the wider community.  Although our numbers are sometimes small for a regular service, we can be packed out for the important gatherings at Christmas, Mothering Sunday, Harvest, and Remembrance Sunday.  We are happy when hosting children's baptisms and welcoming many family and friends to share the celebration. We take part in the Middleton Open Gardens Festival and are registered for the A Rocha "Eco Church" Award, working with the Derbyshire Wildlife Trust and the local Primary School on the flowers and wildlife of our churchyard.  We hold one or two concerts a year in the church, welcoming the wider village community to these events. As part of the wider Wirksworth Team Ministry we are pleased to host Team Services from time to time - such as Christian Aid Week - and to hold Team Bible Studies in our meeting room during Lent or Advent.
