The Theydon Parishes Benefice
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.
OUR NEW ASSOCIATE PRIEST - REV CAROL NEWNHAM
Rev Carol Newnham, currently Curate at St Thomas' Beacontree, will be joining the team in the Benefice as our Associate Priest in the autumn. She will be licensed by the Archdeacon of Harlow in a special service to be held on Thursday 8th November at 7.30p.m. at St Mary's Stapleford Tawney. Please come along and let's fill the church to welcome her.
