Welcome to St Catharine's. We are an Evangelical Anglican church at the heart of Houghton Village; a collection of people of all ages seeking to know Jesus better, worship him together, and serve the local community as we live out our faith. We are part of the Cornerstone team, along with the churches of the neighbouring villages of Thurnby and Stoughton. <span style="font-size: 1rem;">As a team of churches we share the same four foundations, that underpin why we do what we do. They are belonging; multiplying; serving and growing. </span>
The overarching vision at St Catharine's is to see lives transformed by the love of Jesus Christ. Over the next 3-5 years we have particular areas of vision which focus on multiplying, belonging and serving. <span style="font-size: 1rem;">Whether you have been following Jesus for many years, have recently become a Christian, or just want to explore what Christianity is all about, then you would be welcome to join us at any of our services or events.</span>
