It is part of the benefice of Colnbrook & Datchet, currently suspended for 3 years as part of the Deanery Reorganisation plans where it is envisaged Datchet will join with Eton, Eton Wick and Dorney with Boveney
Church Vision (2015 - date ) "The Headline" of our three part Church's vision is "To Be Rooted In Christ & To Reach Out Into His World".
We will achieve this by:
"Increasing Our Faith & Going Deeper With God".
"Creating A Vibrant Christian Community, Centred On Jesus".
"Making A Difference Locally & Beyond, In The Power Of The Spirit".
Our Worship includes both traditional liturgies and more informal services.
There is a strong musical tradition and the Church extends a warm welcome to Worshippers & Visitors from all backgrounds.
Children are welcomed to the main Sunday services. There are also other services throughout the year where children are the focus, for example, Nativity & Crib Service and Christingle
During normal school term time , when there are sufficient children attending, there is also a Creche and a Sunday School.
Our Safeguarding Policy complies with the guidelines set out by the Diocese of Oxford and and the Church of England and can be viewed by clicking on the link to the left of this page.
