Two Valleys Churches

"Enriching lives ...... Embracing God"

"We seek to enrich the lives of our neighbours by embracing God both individually and together"

Welcome to the web pages for our group of eight churches known as the “Two Valleys Team”. Since early 2006 we have been working more closely together, sharing resources and ideas and having a great deal of fun coming together and getting to know one another across our several villages ….

Any church is, of course, far more than just a building; it is in fact a gathering of people, a focus for the community. It is a way in which we draw together, establish community and learn how to love and serve one another… These days we all have questions about belief and faith and the “God” question refuses to go away; it’s not that people don’t want to believe, it’s just that we find many challenges to faith in today’s world. We want to be honest about this and in each of our churches we try to demonstrate sincere and practical ways of living life as a Christian.

There are several clergy who help minister across our parishes as well as many dedicated lay people. Here are the details of the clergy and the particular responsibilities they have:
