Photos from our Easter Dawn service
It was lovely to have our Easter Dawn service outside at St Denys' on Sunday morning.
Welcome to ACNB church
@acnbchurch is the Church of England worshipping community in the parish of Ampfield, Chilworth and North Baddesley. We are here for all so that the light of God may be made visible in our local communities. We are an Inclusive Church.
We are delighted that Reverend Claire Wilkinson will be joining us as the next vicar of ACNB Church.
Claire will be licensed in February 2027. Please pray for Claire and the team here
as we prepare for her arrival.
Due to building work on All Saints roof we have to close the main church building for 3 weeks from 6th July 2026 and cancel all services and activities. The office, vestry and meeting room will still be accessible, as will Arthur’s Play Space.
There will be a sign up list for people needing and able to provide lifts to alternative Sunday services. Your patience and understanding is greatly appreciated during this period.
27th September - please note that there will only be one service which will be 9:30am at St Mark’s.
An obituary notice.
We are an inclusive and welcoming group of three communities following the example of Jesus Christ. Working together locally we seek to encourage one another to live the way Jesus taught
- To worship God together and to faithfully embody His love for all people.
- To prayerfully encourage faith and service.
- To seek to learn and live a new life as a disciple of Christ.
We share our faith in the local community through organising or hosting various activities. Across the villages we use and take care of four church buildings - St Mark in Ampfield, St Denys in Chilworth and All Saints and St John the Baptist, both in North Baddesley.
What’s on this week
Who’s Who?
We are in vacancy although we are looking forward to welcoming Revd Claire Wilkinson in February 2027. Please pray for Claire, the churchwardens, area dean, the PCC and lay ministers and all our volunteers as we prepare for Claire’s licensing.
Our churches rely on many people working in unity: almost all voluntarily.
Here are some of the team.
Sally Kerson is both lay minister and office administrator for our parish
Jonathan DeVile is a lay minister in the parish
Beth Robertson is our children and families worker
Keith Atton is a lay minister in the parish
