We are a growing family of Christians living to see the presence of God transform our land and the communities around us.
We have churches in three parishes: Ashington, Washington and Wiston, each different in style, but united in heart and mind.
Our heart is for each and every person to experience the reality of Jesus Christ in their lives, knowing the joy, hope and freedom He brings.
Our church is managed by the Church Wardens and Parochial Church Council in partnership with the Rector, James di Castiglione. We run various courses and events throughout the year for young and old. Please see our Website for more www.chanctonbury.org.uk
Our Sunday morning service is at 11.00am at St Mary's, Washington.
You are so welcome to join us at our local parish church.
