Sancroft Benefice Churches

A NEW RECTOR HAS BEEN APPOINTED! See News and Notices for details

Sancroft Benefice Churches are six Anglican rural parishes located on the Suffolk / Norfolk border, in the heart of beautiful countryside: Fressingfield, Mendham, Metfield, Stradbroke, Weybread and Withersdale.

We love God, his word and his spirit and we try to love our neighbours as ourselves. We're passionate about serving our local community, nation and world, and seeing lives changed in the name of Jesus.


During the week there are village prayers:

Mondays at 10am in Stradbroke Church,
Wednesdays at 10am, in the pub in Mendham followed by coffee,
Fridays at 9.30am in Sancroft Hall, Fressingfield (from 23rd Oct)

Everyone is warmly welcomed to all our services and events.

See the individual church pages, notices and news for details.
