Welcome to our united benefice comprising the three beautiful rural village churches of St Peter and Paul Bolton-by-Bowland, St Mary the Virgin Gisburn and St Ambrose Grindleton.
Each of our churches have their own unique history and character and yet have a shared vision to share the love of Jesus across our parishes. Should you choose to join us for worship, you will receive a very warm welcome.
