New Creation encompasses the two Anglican churches of St. Andrew’s in the villages of Banwell and Congresbury, with Hewish and Puxton, as well as their associated organisations and youth work and including their community arms, Love Banwell and Love Congresbury.
The Benefice of New Creation takes the well-being and safety of the children and vulnerable adults attending our churches very seriously. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Benefice Safeguarding Officers. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm or you wish to raise a safeguarding concern please contact the safeguarding officers, Maggie McCarthy for St. Andrew's, Banwell or Ruth Wratten for St. Andrew's, Congresbury or the Incumbent Rev'd Matthew Thomson via the Church Office on 01934 833 126.
