Who are the Leightonstone Churches?

 

Mentioned in the Domesday book, the Leighton Stone was where the moot of the Leighton Hundred gathered. Our parishes were a part of that “hundred”.

In joining together as the Leightonstone Churches, we are continuing that ancient tradition of working together for our communities. We celebrate our heritage and are working together to build a future for our churches.

Each church community has a distinctive, creative and caring relationship with its village and each is supported by our ministry team. They, in turn, work with the parish teams so that every community can enjoy the love of God and come to know him.

Working Together

In 2024 most parishes joined together to create a Joint Council (the Leightonstone Churches Joint Council) so that we could work together to develop and re-create church for younger generations.
