ONE GOD. ONE FAITH. THREE CHURCHES
Welcome to Our Churches!
We are a vibrant and welcoming community of three Anglican churches serving the picturesque villages of Basildon, Aldworth, and Ashampstead in West Berkshire. Together, we seek to love God, serve our neighbors, and bless our communities.
With three unique churches, we truly have something for everyone! Whether you enjoy traditional or contemporary worship, are exploring a special milestone like a wedding, baptism, or funeral, or are simply curious about God’s amazing love for you, you’ll find a place here to belong and grow.
Our vision is to be a church where people of all backgrounds and experiences can encounter God’s love through Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit. We pray that everyone who connects with us will discover the joy, hope, and freedom that come from knowing they are unconditionally loved.
Take a moment to explore our website or get in touch—we’d love 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. ”
