We are currently in Vacancy

Lidbrook Benefice comprises three vibrant, warm, parish communities midway between Chippenham and the historic city of Bath.  The villages of Box, Colerne, and Ditteridge each have their own unique character and sense of community and the churches that serve them have been on a journey of growing together in mission whilst recognising their unique gifts and contributions.  You’ll discover a rich tapestry of worship, blending cherished traditions with
contemporary expressions, ensuring everyone feels welcome and valued.  We place a high value on nurturing the next generation, with strong links to local Church of England primary schools and thriving children’s ministries.  We seek a Priest in Charge who will not only lead but also journey alongside our communities; someone who can embrace their rich traditions while inspiring them to explore new possibilities; a pastor with a heart for all ages, who will build bridges and nurture deep relationships.

The Benefice Profile may be found here.

We are committed to Safeguarding and strive to do everything that we can to keep people safe when they use our buildings or take part in our groups and activities and we are especially mindful of the safety of our children, young people and vulnerable adults.  Please see our Safeguarding page for more information.

​We are engaged with Eco Church in order to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth, believing that as a church community it is essential that we play a full and clear part in this and in countering climate change.
