A rural benefice comprising eight very different churches, each with their own character. Some large and some small, serving the villages within and around the beautiful Elham Valley. We look forward to welcoming you to an event or service soon.
Our Parishes are committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have their own Parish Safeguarding Officers (PSO). Our Diocese’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO for the relevant parish/church or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services."
