Welcome to the Earsham Benefice.

The Earsham Group of parishes is situated in the beautiful Waveney valley in South Norfolk. It lies close to the town of Bungay, circling it to the North and West.

We are a group of six parishes, five of which have a Medieval Anglican Church and the sixth is a local ecumenical project with a Medieval Anglican Church and a United Reformed Chapel. We have been a united benefice for fourteen years and enjoy working together as one church family.

We are a rural benefice with, as would be expected, a very wide social mix. Earsham, Alburgh and Ditchingham have new housing, attracting mostly young families. There are also a significant proportion of retired people living in the benefice.

We are called by God to bring by word and deed the Good News of Jesus Christ to our six villages. The vision God has given us is to see many more come to faith in Christ and grow in discipleship, so that together we offer whole-hearted worship to Christ.

We are committed to growing as disciples, to serving others, and to leading many others to Jesus as Lord.

The Pastoral Team, together with the PCCs, looks to develop many forms of outreach into our communities. We are a benefice committed to mission.
