Though we are based in Carlisle, some of our congregation worship in Longtown together with friends from the Methodist church. Our services at Carlisle are weekly on Sunday at 11am with an alternative informal worship at 9.50am on the 2nd Sunday of the month which is aptly named 10-2-10. Children too are welcomed at our Sunday club, which runs during the main service. If you visit Longtown, worship there is on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month at the earlier time of 9.30am in the local Community Centre since the church building closed at the end of 2017. Visitors are most welcome to join worship in either. |

LONGTOWN, in contrast is a small busy market town some 9 miles to the north of Carlisle with population of 3,000. It is situated close to the M6 with access to travel east to Newcastle up on Tyne and north to the Scottish borders. The local market and auctions serve the farming community from both North and South of the border.
