Who we are & where we are

Benefice vision statement

In the light of God’s call, and our situation here, our vision is to build on the love and warmth of our gathered fellowship and to take responsibility as a Christian community to: 

  • share the good news of Jesus and his promise of eternal life with all people in and beyond our parish; 
  • use to the full our beautiful setting to inspire worship of God in our traditional style, whilst also gently exploring new ways of making worship accessible to all ages; 
  • work together to inspire an inclusive fellowship in which people of all ages and backgrounds are welcomed and enabled to grow in faith and wholeness of life.

 

Our churches are run by friendly volunteers. Pictures of some of the key people can be found by scrolling down.

  • co-operating with the vicar in promoting the mission of the Church in its parish.
  • the financial affairs of the church
  • the care and maintenance of the church fabric and its contents.
