Outreach

Jesus called his followers to be the salt and the light in this world, challenging us to ‘let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven’. We are 8 different churches in 8 different communities trying to work out what this looks like. Reaching out to our communities looks different from village to village, but across the whole benefice we are committed to showing God’s love to those around us.

Some ways we try to reach out to our communities include:

Working with our local schools

We have two Church Schools in our Benefice, Knightlow C of E Primary School in Stretton and Leamington Hastings Academy in Leamington Hastings. Volunteers from across the benefice regularly go into our local schools to lead assemblies and offer support to staff.

Walking with people through life

We celebrate with people when they marry in our churches. We enjoy preparing families as they bring a child forward for baptism. When people are mourning the loss of a loved one, we are there with them during and after the funeral
