Saint Chad’s is a traditional Anglican church in a modern setting; having been consecrated in 1964. Surrounded by windows this church is certainly outward looking. (see Prayer Guide)
You will receive a warm welcome at Saint Chad’s whether you are attending one of our services or a social event. The church is located on the north side of Lancaster on Torrisholme Road, which means that Saint Chad’s is within easy access of the historic city.
Variously described as welcoming, homely, peaceful and calm, St Chad’s church is a modern building which manages to effuse a very warm spiritual consciousness to all who enter.
Set in a small corner of its Skerton West Parish in Lancaster, on the north side of the river Lune, the church and Parish Centre represent a welcome sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of life which passes by on the sometimes busy Torrisholme Road. Enhanced by the grounds and gardens, which are regularly and carefully tended by a working party of parishioners.

A few words of introduction ...............
The Parish Centre, significantly refurbished during the past five years, provides a meeting place for many activities which take the work of the church outwards throughout the Parish and beyond.
Junior uniformed organisations can be found in the hall most weekday evenings, whilst during the daytime other groups use the meeting room and hall for a variety of purposes from social groups to social care groups.
Refurbishment not only secured the structure of the hall for many years to come, but brought the facilities completely up-to date in terms of disabled access and health and safety.
Redecoration internally and externally has brought a welcoming freshness inviting people to enter and enjoy.
Immediately across the road stands the Vicarage.
