St Nicholas
in Corfe Mullen has been on an exciting journey over the past few years. We
have moved from a traditional weekly service to one that embraces a broader
style of worship. We have an All Age and an informal service once a month and
two communion services. Our worship style is currently a blend of traditional
hymns and modern worship songs. The church building is large, modern, well
equipped and regularly used by local orchestras and choirs because of its great
acoustics.
