Our People

A benefice of this kind flourishes through teamwork.

Along with churchwardens, PCCs and a whole host of willing volunteers we share the work of ministry in these six villages. The ministry team is made up of those with a formal role in leading worship in our churches. We meet every fortnight to pray together, to plan worship, and to develop discipleship and outreach. We are supported by a benefice administrator and a wedding co-ordinator.
