An obituary notice.

We are an inclusive and welcoming group of three communities following the example of Jesus Christ. Working together locally we seek to encourage one another to live the way Jesus taught

  • To worship God together and to faithfully embody His love for all people.
  • To prayerfully encourage faith and service.
  • To seek to learn and live a new life as a disciple of Christ.

We share our faith in the local community through organising or hosting various activities. Across the villages we use and take care of four church buildings - St Mark in Ampfield, St Denys in Chilworth and All Saints and St John the Baptist, both in North Baddesley.

What’s on this week

Who’s Who?

We are in vacancy and do not have a vicar at the moment. Please pray for the churchwardens, area dean, the PCC, our curate and lay ministers and all our volunteers as we work through the process of appointing a new vicar.

Our churches rely on many people working in unity: almost all voluntarily.

Here are some of the team.

Sally Kerson is both lay minister and office administrator for our parish

Jonathan DeVile is a lay minister in the parish

Beth Robertson is our children and families worker

Reverend Ann Devereux is our curate
