Our church in Brandon is a small brick-built church located just outside Brandon on Brandon Road heading towards the village of Weeting. As you drive North through Brandon you need to go over the River Bridge, over the Railway lines and turn immediately to your left towards Weeting. Go past the junction on your immediate left, past the corner house and we are on the left behind a low hedge. Parking, though limited, is available in front of the Church. Welcome!

Our church in Mildenhall is not in the centre of town but was placed on the Saint John’s Estate to the northeast of the town to help provide a Christian presence. To find us you need to find your way to College Heath Road. The Council Offices are situated on this road so it is well signposted. Heading North, follow the road round and turn off into the Estate on Saint John’s Close. The church, a red-brick building, is situated near the shop and community centre; there is plenty of parking available. The entrance is on the opposite side of the church from the car park.
