South West Chelmsford Churches Partners

SW Chelmsford Partners

Since Autumn 2011, St Michael's Galleywood has been in a pastoral partnership with other churches in South West Chelmsford. Initially we were joined with St John's Moulsham and St Luke's Moulsham Lodge.

Since the summer of 2012, the group has been expanded with links now also with St Mary Widford and Church of the Holy Spirit.

South West Chelmsford Churches is a pioneer in the Diocesan plan to 'Re-imagine Ministry' in the context of falling Clergy numbers over the next few years - we neede to learn how to 'do church' differently!

The 5 churches in the group are (in alphabetical order):

Galleywood, St Michael and All Angels

Moulsham, St John the Evangelist

Moulsham Lodge, St Luke

Widford. St Mary

Widford, Church of the Holy Spirit

Between the churches there are currently 3 ordained ministers, each licensed to serve in all 5 churches
