St John the Baptist, Oakfield with Holy Trinity, Ryde.
We are an Anglican church with an open, friendly atmosphere where ALL are welcome.
In order to prevent the spread of Covid-19 and to help save lives, all services at this, and all Church of England churches, have been suspended and the church buildings closed.
We are still here to support you spiritually and practically but we are working within the restrictions that help us to keep us all safe.
