A welcoming Christian community in the heart of Cambridge.
For over a thousand years, St Bene’t’s has been a refuge of prayer and peace.
Since 1020, people come to St Bene’t’s from a range of backgrounds, with different gifts and experiences. We rejoice in the diversity of people God calls to follow him. So we seek to be an inclusive community, and to put into practice St Benedict’s teaching that everyone must be welcomed as Christ himself. We look forward to welcoming you.
Prayer remains at the heart of what we are about, as we seek to respond to God — who, in Christ, has already reached out to find us. We’re open every day, with daily services of Holy Communion and Evening Prayer. We welcome visitors to come learn about the history of our church, and to find stillness and peace in the heart of Cambridge.
