Our vision: to love; to grow; to pray; to serve.

The Manningtree Benefice is changing!

We have become a new group of three churches, representing the communities of Bradfield, Lawford, Manningtree and Mistley. We have a new name - Cross Reach Churches - and will soon have a new website, too.

In the meantime, this site will remain up, as will our Facebook pages.


Baptisms, weddings, and funerals.

Church is important at key times of your life.

We would love to celebrate with you during those times of life which are good, and we're there for you when things are harder.

Please do get in touch with our office (details are below) to find out more.

The office email address is office@crossreachchurches.co.uk.

Phone the office on 07436 398801 or 01206 392301, or contact Revd Dom Turner on 07593 640798.

We are committed to Safeguarding Children, Young People, and Vulnerable Adults. The PCCs have adopted the Church of England's policies and best practice on safeguarding which may be found on the Church of England's website. Our Benefice Safeguarding Representative is Lorna Osborne, who may be contacted at church or by email safeguarding@manningtreebenefice.co.uk. Please note that this email address is only for safeguarding enquiries.

This website is currently under construction, and may well change significantly in the months ahead!
