Alvanley and Manley, Norley, Crowton and Kingsley or 'The Benefice'

The Benefice, recently expanded to include the parish of Alvanley and Manley, is warm and welcoming.  We seek to grow closer to God and to live out our 'strapline' of  'Followers of Jesus: sharing His love with others'.  We seek to be rooted in prayer and enthusiastic about developing in our faith within the communities we serve through worship, pastoral work, teaching and times of fun and laughter,

We work to make Jesus Christ known and experienced in our villages and strive to be a safe haven where everyone can feel at home and find, when needed, support or encouragement.
