The Lark Valley & North Bury Team Benefice comprises 10 churches across the town of Bury St Edmunds and neighbouring villages.
We offer you a warm welcome.

We seek to be:

Welcoming churches

Where all God’s children can find a home.

Inclusive churches

Where we are committed to making everyone, regardless of age, race, gender or sexuality, feel welcome.

Praying churches

Where individual and corporate prayer is a priority.

Churches of preaching and teaching

Where Word and Sacrament bring us to a closer relationship with God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. 

Churches of praise and worship

Where we bring all people into the presence of God (using contemporary and traditional styles).

Churches of compassion, concern and care

Where we seek to minister with, and care for, the needs of those in our church and community.

Witnessing churches

Where our life and actions reflect the new life we have found in Jesus.
