Who we are

We are the parish church for the village of Evington on the eastern edge of the city of Leicester, which is part of the Diocese of Leicester in the Church of England. With many schools, care homes, businesses and community groups in the parish, PARTNERSHIP is key to who we are.

We love to work with others for the benefit of all, while holding all those people and places in our daily prayers and acts of worship. We also work in partnership with several of our neighbouring churches including St Philip’s, St Peter’s and St Stephen’s Church of England churches, and we have strong relationships with Goodwood Evangelical Church and Wycliffe United Reformed Church. We work together as a team, partnering above all with the Holy Spirit, united in our commitment to respect the traditions handed down to us and to respond to our calling to reach out and find fresh ways to share the good news of Jesus Christ in word and deed. The best way to find out more about us is to come and join us!

Lay Reader and Pioneer

Sian Rigby moved to the Leicester area just over 5 years ago. Having finished university at the University of Nottingham and St John’s College, she explored a call to work with those on the margins of society in a variety of ways, through the New Wine Discipleship Year and Diocesan internship scheme at Holy Trinity Leicester, working with their Compassion Ministry.

Following this year, Sian joined St Denys and continued to explore what God was calling her to do. From a young age Sian has been passionate about the Bible and seeing people from all walks of life grow in faith, and was licensed as a Reader at St Denys in October 2019.

Sian works for Together Leicester, a charity Joint Venture partnership between CUF and the Diocese of Leicester, supporting churches across Leicestershire to serve their local communities in a variety of ways.
