The Milborne Benefice

We are a group of rural churches ranging from the largest in Milborne Port, to the teeniest in Milborne Wick. We meet every Sunday and Wednesday in different Church buildings in the group, and you would be most welcome at our services. We say prayers each weekday morning using the Church of England Daily Prayer, and we would love you to join us at 9am in Milborne Port (just listen for the bell calling us in!).

In addition we have lots of groups such as Little Jays Baby and Toddler Group each Friday morning, Bible Study, Bell Ringers, Julian Contemplation Group, Gardening folk (Grasshoppers), Foodshare, Breakfast Groups, Luncheon Club and many more. Our website has a copy of the magazine for more information.

We are a group of normal, ordinary people who have found a light, peace and joy from a faith which matters. Come and explore with us!
