Hello! We hold regular Sunday services in all our churches, with a mix of traditional and other worship, alongside Alpha courses, bible study and a variety of social events. For more information, please see Services and the News & Diary Dates sections. We hope to see you soon; a warm, friendly welcome is assured.
Our seven churches are generally open to visitors from 10am until 4pm each day. Come and pray, look around these historic buildings nestled in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or simply sit and soak up the peace.
Belief in God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit is at the heart of our faith. Christians believe that Jesus is God’s Son. Jesus reveals to us that God is our Father, and that God is available to us through the Holy Spirit. You can find out more about what this means on the Church of England website. If you are interested in finding out about Bible Studies and engaging more with the faith please do contact us.
