About Us
Welcome! We are six Church of England churches, some large and some small, serving the town of Witney and the villages round about.
Our churches share a common purpose: to help each person in our communities grow deeper in their knowledge of and relationship with God. Our vision is to be a community of mercy and kindness.
We cherish the Eucharist and the Daily Office, and we are an inclusive church committed to a welcoming and hospitable Christianity where everyone is welcome.
As an outward-looking church, we seek to demonstrate God’s love through our actions. We actively engage with 11 schools, 6 nursing and care homes, and provide outreach to new housing communities and those in need throughout the area.
