Welcome to St. Chad's!
We are a small but faithful congregation in the heart of Bensham & Teams, gathering every Sunday at 10.30am. Our worship is in the modern catholic tradition of the Church of England.
If you would like to enquire about baptisms (christenings), weddings, or the reading of banns, please do get in touch using the contact details below.
The parish of Bensham and Teams St Chad is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops' guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer(s), PSOs. The Diocese of Durham’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.
