Keeping Safe

Caring for people is a very important part of our Christian life. It is important that you tell us if something is upsetting you or if you are feeling worried about something that’s happening or somebody is doing. We have specially trained people who you can talk to and who you can ask for help. These people are good at safeguarding. This means they look after everyone’s safety.

Keeping Safe - Who to contact if you are worried or concerned

Our Mission

We love serving God for everyone in the East Loveden group. We truly are deeply grateful for the opportunity to minister, pray and lead a sacramental life together in Our Lord. Growing a small parish in a rural community that is not itself growing is a tough enterprise. Indeed growing any church anywhere is tough. The first thing we need to remember is that it’s God who makes the parish grow, not us. We are mindful of what God is calling on us to do to work with him. This is what the Christian life is about. By his grace, we are carrying on Christ's mission in the world. Each one of us is called to share the Gospel with others, and in intentional ways, whether through our weekly services, pastoral visits, school services or just by keeping our churches open for everyone to enjoy. Please join us in our mission or contact us to find out more.

Our services — how we are here for you at life's key moments

Weekly church services

Every week across our group of six churches there is one Holy Communion service and an Evening service once a month. We also worship with additional services during the Easter and Christmas seasons, and hold special services also throughout the year. Come and join us!

Marriages and baptisms

Looking for more information or guidance about getting married? Please get in touch! We always also welcome enquiries about baptisms and confirmations. These special moments are a key part of our church life.

Funerals and memorials

Please contact us for support and guidance if you have lost a loved one. Working closely with local funeral directors, we can help you organise the commemoration of life you are looking for, from funeral services in a church or crematorium, to memorial services and burials.
