Mid-Trent Churches, Staffordshire.
Belief in God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit is at the heart of our faith. As Christians, we believe that Jesus is God’s Son. Jesus reveals to us that God is our Father, and that God is available to us through the Holy Spirit.
We are a group of 8 parishes with 10 churches in the area known as The Mid-Trent Benefice. We have individual styles and some different ways of doing things but we also have much in common and work together as a Team.
Each Parish has its own Parochial Church Council (PCC) which is the group where our clergy work closely with elected lay people to manage the Parish church(es).
We have a Team Council, made up of elected representatives of each Parish, which has some delegated powers from the PCCs. Amongst other responsibilities the Team Council oversees the pattern of services across the 10 churches and the production of COMPASS, our church and community magazine.
We are an enthusiastic and passionate group of people working together to offer a warm and friendly welcome across all our Parishes as we aim to build God's inclusive kingdom of unconditional love.

Safeguarding
Our Parishes are committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Our Diocese’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
