Our vision is:

Building the Body of Christ: Equipping the Church for Mission

and our intention is that as we improve our understanding of what it means to be the body of Christ, so God’s Spirit will strengthen our trust and commitment together, deepen our faith and prayer and prepare us for His plans and purposes.

The parish of Groby: St Philip and St James 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 Leicester’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. For further information, do see our Safeguarding page.
