Churches in Tyne and Wear

Church life in Tyne and Wear

Tyne and Wear holds two of the most important sites in early English Christianity: the twin monasteries of Wearmouth and Jarrow, where Bede wrote the first history of the English church. Newcastle and Sunderland today host cathedral congregations, city-centre churches and fast-growing international fellowships.

Whether you are in Newcastle upon Tyne or a village on the far side of the county, a church community is rarely far away. Our listings are drawn from public records, church websites and submissions from congregations themselves, and we are working towards a complete picture of Christian worship in every corner of Tyne and Wear.
