Alleluia!

Christ is risen!

Our churches aspire to be the church in every place, offering regular worship and other activities for the benefit of the communities in which they work.

Each Sunday, we offer a variety of different services, led by different ministers and lay teams, to suit a variety of spiritual needs and preferences.

News

Our new Growing Younger Minister, Ruth Hutchings, starts with us on 2nd June 2024. Ruth will be living in the Benefice and will soon become a familiar face to all our congregations and schools. We were delighted to welcome Ruth to the midweek communion service on Wednesday 17th April, to have coffee in the Mill Yard, Morland afterwards, and to begin to get to know her.
