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.
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
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.

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
Jonathan DeVile is a Lay Minister in the parish
Beth Robertson is our Children and Families Worker
Reverend Ann Devereux is our curate
Keith Atton is a Lay Minister in the parish
