The Benefice of Bentley Common, Kelvedon Hatch & Navestock

My name is Revd Julie Hardy - I’m the Priest in Charge of these three parish churches, which offer a variety of worship from informal Family Services with a worship band, Holy Communion and traditional Book of Common Prayer. We may worship differently, but we all love and serve the one God, through faith, hope and love.

Whether you’re interested in exploring your faith, new to the area, or have an important life event such as a child to be baptised, a wedding to be arranged, or a funeral of a loved one; we will welcome you and walk beside you – sharing our faith, hope and love.
