St Mark's Church, Bilton

St Mark's is a broad friendly church where the Gospel is preached in a biblical context and the sacraments are faithfully administered. The vision of the church is prayerfully based on Isaiah 35. We open wide the doors of the church to all who will enter in where they will find a welcome in the Name of Jesus Christ our Saviour.
