Welcome to our

Parish website

Broughton Parish serves the people of Broughton & Fulwood in Preston.

We are a welcoming and inclusive parish open for all. As our vision statement says, ‘We seek to make Jesus known in our community through our joyful, loving service and worship.’ Reflecting the diversity of our worship centres we have a variety of services on offer from traditional Book of Common Prayer to Common Worship services both said and sung.

Our parish has three different worship centres:

The Parish Church of St John Baptist, Church Lane, Broughton

St Peter’s Chapel, Meadowfield, Fulwood 

St Martin’s Chapel and Parish Hall, Broadway, Fulwood

We also offer Messy Church once a month which is a more informal time together. We have an active and growing Sunday School called Jigsaw which meet every Sunday morning and you can find out about our other activities and events which take place on our website and through our social media pages.
