About Us

D922E22B-9DA3-4DE6-8909-C7329DB78867_edi

Beccles Parish covers the two Anglican churches of St Michael’s and St Luke’s in Beccles and the villages of Worlingham, North Cove and Barnby. We are five churches working together in one parish; a Christ-centred Missional Community, where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

We are a friendly and welcoming community who love Jesus and offer a wide range of services and activities for all-ages. We have multiple congregations who meet on Sundays and midweek, when we gather to worship in various ways, using both traditional and contemporary styles.

Our Vision

Is rooted in the diocesan vision of Growing in God, that as the church serving Beccles, Worlingham, North Cove and Barnby, we grow

DEEPER, in NUMBER, in INFLUENCE, and YOUNGER.

​

Our Mission Statement

BEING GOOD NEWS | LIVING FAITH | SERVING BECCLES & VILLAGES

expresses how we live out our faith in the context we are in.

​

Our Values

Are in a simple “rule of life” for our parish, the DNA of who we are and how we seek to be as church.

 

All Involved - Everyone is included and valued, whoever they are. Everyone has a role to play.

 

Becoming Disciples - Encouraging us to love and live more like Jesus.

 

Creating Community - We will “be real” with each other - honest about the things we go through ourselves and to respond in a loving way to each other. Caring for each other enables us to care for our wider community too.

 

Doing Evangelism - Being as well as telling good news together. Giving other people the opportunity to learn about Jesus.

 

Encountering God - Meeting with God. It is God who helps us and changes us.
