@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.
June’s Pilgrims' session at St Mark’s will be on 21st June instead of 14th June to the Fete and dog show being on the 14th at 11:30-14:30.
26th October - please note that the only service will be 10am at All Saints. This will be Vanessa’s last Sunday service in the parish and it will be followed by refreshments as we wish her well in her new position.

Chilworth: 14:00 on Fri 23rd May at St Denys'

Sunday 23rd Nov will be our #SafeguardingSunday! God cares about protecting vulnerable people and so do we. We will be dedicating our service to the theme of Action Speaks Louder, exploring the invitation from Jesus to protect everyone and seek justice for those who have been harmed.
There is no midweek Communion at All Saints on Wednesday evening and there
will be Morning Prayer rather than Communion at St Mark on Tuesday morning."
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 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.
Although COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted, it is still with us and you can find our COVID information here.
Who’s Who?
We are in vacancy and do not have a vicar at the moment. Please pray for the churchwardens,
area dean, the PCC, our curate and LLMs and all our volunteers as we work through the process
of appointing a new vicar.
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
On Sunday 9th November there will be an Act of Remembrance at each of the
three War Memorials in the Benefice, as we remember those who gave their
lives in the two world wars and all who have died in combat since.
You are warmly invited to the first ‘The Open Teapot’ - an afternoon of tea/coffee, cake and memories from 3:15-4:45pm on Sunday 10th August 2025 at All Saints Church, North Baddesley.
On Sunday we were delighted to have Bishop Philip visit us for a Communion service and even more delighted that the service included confirmation of three members of our congregations.
