Welcome to ACNB church

@acnbchurch is the Church of England worshipping community in the three parishes 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.
29th June - please note that the only service in the benefice will be 10am at St Mark to celebrate Ann’s first Communion as priest, following her ordination on 28th.
20th July - please note that the only service in the benefice will be 10am at All Saints when Bishop Philip will be visiting.

The dates for this year’s annual meetings (APCMs) are:

  • North Baddesley: 19:30 on Wed 21st May at All Saints
  • Chilworth: 14:00 on Fri 23rd May at St Denys'
  • Ampfield: 10:45 on Sun 25th May at St Mark’s
Safeguarding Sunday is on Sunday 17 November. Join our congregations at St Mark or All Saints as we hear readings, sing hymns and explore what safeguarding is.
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 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.
