Welcome to the Parish of Badshot Lea and Hale!

We are a Church of England parish that would love to welcome you. We are now open again for worship on Sundays and on Wednesdays at St Mark’s (see right for details). You can also sign up to receive our Weekly Notices.

We have several different congregations, who worship in a variety of styles, so we hope to have something for everyone. We are an Inclusive Church, which means we strive to celebrate and affirm every person and do not discriminate, and continue to challenge the church where it continues to discriminate against people on grounds of disability, economic power, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, learning disability, mental health, neurodiversity, or sexuality.

We are also an Eco-Church, striving to care for God’s Creation.

We long to show God’s love in all we do and to serve the people who live in this wonderful community – our parish covers Sandy Hill, Folly Hill, Upper Hale, Hale, Lower Hale, Heath End, Weybourne and Badshot Lea – 14,000 people! You can see the area the parish covers with this map.

We are a community that relies on each other to help us to serve Christ and the communities that we live in and we will continue to do so in these unprecedented times.

We’re delighted that you’ve found us and hope this website will show you a bit about who we are and where to find us. We hope you find what you are looking for!

We’d really like to hear from you – please contact us, follow us on Facebook, follow us on Instagram and subscribe to our YouTube channel.

St George’s and St Mark’s are both accessible to those with mobility issues. St John’s is currently less accessible, for which we apologise. We are working towards improving access for all.
