Welcome

We are a friendly corner of the Church of England, here to serve the parish of Ludgershall and Faberstown in the Diocese of Salisbury. We are in a Benefice with our sister church Holy Trinity in Tidworth.

Our main service is at 10am each Sunday, but we have other things going on too. Please explore our website, and if you like what you see, come and meet us.

We are in vacancy at present our Churchwardens Julie and Ted will be pleased to welcome you.  Both Julie and Ted are out and about around the church and in the town delighted and are pleased to stop and talk’

When a new Rector is appointed, he or she will share the responsibility with Churchwardens, and decisions are taken in consultation with the Parochial Church Council, who are elected representatives of the church community. In the absence of the Rector, the churchwardens and PCC take responsibility for the day to day running of the church, ably assisted by the Rural Dean and Archdeacon from the Diocese.

New Here?

We’d love to meet you! Whether it’s your first time at church or your first time with us, you’ll find a warm welcome.

Come as you are – no dress code.
Children are welcome.
Enjoy tea & coffee after the service.
