We aspire to be an inclusive, welcoming community of mercy and kindness. We extend a warm invitation to everyone to come and join us irrespective of race, sexuality, background or age.

About Us
This ancient house of prayer has been a place of hospitality for over 750 years. Our magnificent medieval building is the civic church for Witney.
We pride ourselves on being a warm welcoming and friendly community embracing a hospitable Christianity.
The heart of our life is our worship. We treasure the Eucharist and Daily Office.
We are an inclusive church and celebrate and affirm every person. We do not discriminate against people on grounds of disability, economic power, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, learning disability, mental health, neurodiversity, or sexuality.
Environmental matters are important to us and we have achieved the Rocha silver award and are working towards the gold award.
