Welcome to Harnham Parish Churches

Welcome to Harnham Churches. We are a friendly,  Anglican Christian community that meets in two different churches in Harnham: St George, Lower Street and All Saints, Harnham Road on alternate Sundays. Around 70 adults meet together every week. We are very fortunate that several retired priests live in our Parish and will lead our services during the Vacancy that follows the appointment of the Revd Cannon Becky Roberts, our last vicar, as Rector of Bridport.

We are a supportive, friendly group of people, who care about our faith lived out in the community; Living, learning and loving through Christ.

Do come along any Sunday and you will be sure of a warm and inclusive welcome at our churches or in the Parish Hall where many community activities take place during the week as well as the monthly Messy Church .

All sorts of groups and activities meet during the week in the hall, in our homes, the local pubs and in the churches, so there are many opportunities to get to know others and get involved.

We hope that you enjoy exploring our website and if you would like a chat or more information, then feel free to contact Monica, the Parish Coordinator (ParishCoordinator@harnhamparish.org.uk) or either one of us.
