‘The Ringstone in Aveland Group of Churches is committed to safeguarding the welfare of all young people and vulnerable adults’.
The church is a beautiful Grade 1 listed building, dating from the C12, and are the only church in the Group with a spire. There are chairs rather than pews in the nave, which means the church is well suited for concerts and village events.
Over the past nine years there has been a steady growth in attendance at services, some of which are led by the lay ministry team. We try to witness our faith in the village but also in the wider community.
The church has a long-standing connection in Malawi with the Anglican church of St Jacob in the central region. Fundraising has meant that a new church and three houses have been built. Ongoing fundraising has led us to expanding our support to MACS-Malawi association for Christian support which helps other communities to maintain churches and clergy housing, builds classroom blocks for schools and gives medical equipment for clinics and hospitals.
