Who are we?►
High Ongar Parish consists of 3 churches – namely St Mary's, High Ongar, St James’, Marden Ash and All Saints, Norton Mandeville.
Our church community is one that worships God, aims to grow in faith and concentrates on four areas – Worship, Mission, Teaching and Pastoral Care, all of equal importance.
If you visit us on a Sunday you will be welcomed at the church door. If you have any special needs please make them known and we will do our best to accommodate them.
We are an "all age friendly" fellowship, indeed all ages attend services from the very young up to those in their eighties and nineties. We especially want to encourage children and young adults to have fun and find their own personal faith in Jesus.
Within the three churches you will find different styles of worship. Some services are quiet and meditative while others are noisy and exuberant, some traditional, some very different! We have a number of folk authorised to lead services and to bring God’s word to us, which ensures freshness and variety.
We believe that being a Christian is not just for Sunday. Our teaching is biblically sound and relevant to today, and practical in everyday life.
We believe God offers you a new life in Jesus, a chance to put aside all those things that we have all done that we are not particularly proud of!
We try to make sure that you will not feel in any way inferior or judged at any of the High Ongar Parish churches and give an open welcome to everyone.
