The Benefice of Witney
Called to be a community of mercy and kindness we are an inclusive church embracing a hospitable Christianity. We are five Church of England churches, some large and some small, serving the town of Witney and the villages round about. We work across 11 schools, 6 nursing/care homes and outreach to new communities and to people in need across the area. We believe the church is called to be a community of mercy and kindness. We look forward to welcoming you to an event or service soon. Please visit our Parish website for comprehensive information on The Benefice of Witney
