Welcome

Christians believe that Jesus is our companion and guide as we travel as pilgrims through life. As we set our sights on God’s kingdom of justice and peace, our journey becomes more meaningful and joyful, and, we hope, the world a better place. As a Church we seek to engage with the riches of our faith and to love and serve others. 

Our worship is traditional, but this does not mean that we are not open to different ideas and ways of saying thanks to God. We are blessed to be located within a beautiful Cotswold village and part of a Church which is integral to its village community. We hope our website will give you the information you need, and you will one day join us in our worship together.

Revd. Ralph Williamson, Rector.
