ONE GOD. ONE FAITH. THREE CHURCHES
Welcome!
We are a lively, friendly and adventurous group of three Anglican churches serving the community here in West Berkshire. We cover the beautiful villages of Basildon, Aldworth and Ashampstead where we seek to love God and bless our communities. Because we are three churches we can really offer something for everybody! Whether you value traditional or contemporary worship styles, whether you’re enquiring about a wedding, baptism or funeral, or if you’d like to know more about God’s amazing love for you, then there is something for you here.
We believe in being a church for all people to meet with God through the love of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit. Our prayer is that all of us might come to know the joy and freedom that comes from being unconditionally loved, whatever our background and whatever our experience so far in life.
Take some time to look around our website or even get in touch with us. We’d be delighted to hear from you.
With love and blessings,
Revd Grant Fensome, Vicar.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know. Remember the Lord in everything you do, and he will show you the right way. ”
Proverbs 3: 5-6
