The Rodings, Easters & Gt Canfield Churches
Welcome to our Benefice Website
We are a group of churches in the beautiful Essex countryside that are working together to communicate the Love of God to all. We welcome anyone who is looking for a place to express their faith, and those who are exploring what it means to be a follower of Jesus.
We also seek to be active members of the villages in which we belong appreciating the richness that community can bring to life. I do hope that here you will find lots to enjoy and inspire, but if you can’t find what you are looking for please do contact us.
Rev Robert Stone, Vicar
