Welcome To St Michael's Church
We are currently rebuilding our website so that it can meet the technical needs of our 'online' world:
- It needs to work with whatever device you are viewing it on (smart phone, tablet, laptop, desktop etc).
- It needs to provide you with relevant, up-to-date information
- It needs to enable contributions from the widest range of individuals and groups to ensure that it reflects the life of our Church in all it's many forms
Above all, it needs to make it easier for you to discover the opportunities for worship, fellowship and heritage offered by St Michael's Church to the community of Shefford.
This is being made possible by the generous support of the Heritage Lottery Fund. It forms part of a larger project to restore our historical Church Tower (Shefford's oldest structure), and to provide accessible heritage information.
As this is still very much a 'work in progress', our old website is still available - just click on the 'Old Website' link above.
