Forward in Faith Parish: Welcome to Holy Cross, Marsh Farm

Welcome to
The Holy Cross, Marsh Farm

Proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ

through Prayer, Worship and Social Action!

There has been an active Christian presence on the Marsh Farm Estate, situated in the North East of Luton, since it was built in the 1960s. Originally the Church met in one of the newly built town houses on the estate before a Church Hall was constructed and then a Church building in 1976. A fervent desire to make known the love of God in a way that is both profound but relevant has been central to the parish’s life over the 30 years of its existence.

As the Church of England in Marsh Farm we extend pastoral care and support to the whole community and seek to serve and greet all in the name of Christ. All people, whether committed Christians, enquirers or those who simply wish to broaden their understanding are warmly welcomed to our worship and social activities.

The Parish stretches from the northern boundary of the estate to Bramingham Road in the South; from Bramingham Wood in the east to the high rise flats in the west as well as a row of houses on the north side of Bramingahm Road which run down to the Three Horses Roundabout. The Church is located in the middle of the estate next door to the medical centre.
