All Saints' Church is the Parish Church for the village of Turvey situated on the River Great Ouse in North Bedfordshire.
All Saints' church is part of the 'Chellington Team' group of eight churches in the following north Bedfordshire villages: Carlton, Stevington, Harrold, Odell, Poddington and Wymington.
We are a lively village church with an excellent organ and traditional robed choir. We try to provide a range of services to suit the needs of our parish. Families and children are welcome at all our services. On the first Sunday of each month we hold a more informal Family Service (9.30am) with a blend of traditional and more modern music and worship. On all other Sundays our services start at 11.00am. There is always coffee, tea and biscuits/cakes after all the services and plenty of opportunity to chat and get to know people if you are new to the village or to the church. We welcome you!
