We are two parishes in south Buckinghamshire, with churches in village settings, in the beautiful Chiltern countryside. These two churches form a caring and outward – looking Christian community, with a desire to know God, to serve our neighbours and share the love of Christ. We are committed to ensuring the full and safe inclusion of everyone in our Parishes.

• Grow the Kingdom of God with enthusiasm, energy and determination.
• Commit to growing their own faith and that of the Benefice, through Worship, the Eucharist and prayer.

• Embrace two different churches, their services and traditions.
• Build on outreach initiatives by engaging with schools and the local community.
• Offer greater opportunity for worship, pilgrimage, music and the arts.
• Make effective use of modern technology including web sites and social media.

What we can offer:

• A warm and friendly welcome.

• Two beautiful recently re- ordered churches with excellent AV systems.
• A staff team of Parish Administrator, Family Outreach worker and a Marketing Manager, who work part time from a church office.
