The Theydon Parishes Benefice
All Saints' Theydon Garnon - "raise the roof" appeal
For nearly 750 years our grade 1 listed parish church of All Saints, has been offering people a place for Christian worship.
Today, the church faces a significant challenge as the church roof is over 100 years old and is showing significant wear and tear with tiles damaged and slipping, allowing some ingress of rain water.
Please visit our dedicated "raise the roof" page where details of how you can donate can be found
A warm welcome is extended to all visitors, both to this website, and visitors of our four churches.
The Benefice is the coming together of a number of churches (All Saints Theydon Garnon, St Mary the Virgin Theydon Bois, and the joint parish of St Michael’s Theydon Mount and St Mary the Virgin Stapleford Tawney)
We are:
- one Benefice,
- three Parishes,
- three congregations,
- four Churches
We are three active parishes that provide the opportunity to deliver a range of styles of worship from the Book of Common Prayer to All Age Worship. Our congregations are committed to developing their churches and reaching out to their communities in mission and ministry. We face different challenges in our quest to serve God in each community, whilst promoting the Christian faith.
