Welcome to St John the Baptist, Great Amwell’s Parish Church.
St John the Baptist is part of the Great Amwell with St Margarets and Stanstead Abbots Benefice. Our 3 Churches Benefice covers three villages with four churches, so we are blessed to be able to provide a variety of services. St John the Baptist, beautifully set above the New River, enjoys a more formal style of worship.
For more information about our Benefice, including our full Safeguarding Policy, please visit our website www.3churches.net
Our Benefice is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Great Amwell with St Margarets and Stanstead Abbotts PCCs are committed to creating a safer, caring environment, listening to and taking seriously all disclosures of abuse. We pledge to support Victims and Survivors regardless of when or where the abuse occurred, following the House of Bishops guidance to ensure safety and pastoral care. Our Diocese’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact one of our Safeguarding Officers or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (link below). If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
