Our vision

We are Thanington Parish Church:

A community of worship, welcome and witness to Christ,

who are learning from the past, living in the present and looking to God’s future.

We are learning from the past

We learn from the Bible, looking to Jesus Christ as the foundation of our faith.

We are continuing more than a thousand years of Christian presence in Thanington.

We are wise about the past, holding on to the good and learning from mistakes.

We care for St Nicholas Church as part of Thanington’s heritage.

We are living in the present

We gather to worship God, learn the way of Jesus, and pray for the Holy Spirit’s help.

We give generously,  trusting God to provide, and doing what we can with what we have.

We offer a warm welcome to all, including young and old, locals and newcomers.

We care about Thanington and work together with others for the good of the whole community.

We are looking to God’s future

We believe God loves Thanington and wants people here to find faith, hope and love through Jesus Christ.

So, we pray God will help each of us to share the light and love of Christ with others,

We pray for the church to grow in number and grow younger (on average!),

And we pray for a network of healthy Christian communities to serve the whole parish.

We are Thanington Parish Church:
