Our services are marked by diversity of style, ranging from lay-led open prayer to BCP communion.
There is a strong ecumenical tradition in Faringdon. Together the united churches run a thriving Family Centre and Fair Trade and Christian bookshop.
The church itself is set in the heart of a small market town in the Vale of the White Horse. The building dates from the thirteenth century, and has experienced an exciting history which includes the destruction of the spire during the Civil War.
The Simeons Trust has been patron since the 1840s. We are the only Anglican church and the parish comprises the entire town.
The Reverend Doctor Stephen Bellamy became our vicar on 28 July 2016 and retired on 3 July 2022. We are currently seeking a new Vicar.
The church administrator works Monday to Thursday: 09.00 - 13.00 and can be contacted on [email protected] or on 01367 244 901
