About Us

St Michael’s and St John’s Churches, the two central Church of England places of worship within the town of working, became a united Benefice in 2024. Together the parishes have celebrated their strengths and grown together in witness to Christ.

The worship is liberal Catholic in expression, the social life and fellowship is strong and vibrant where the nurture of children and young people is a priority. We excel in growing greener, going for gold, having received A Rocha silver awards in the last year. The churches are beginning to explore further what being an inclusive church means.

Pastoral care is close to our heart, whether walking alongside people in their daily lives, celebrating major life events, or journeying with them in their grief whilst commending thier loved ones to God's eternal care. If you would like more information about baptisms, weddings, or funerals please contact the Rector for more information.
