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.


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 use in safeguarding enquiries. General enquiries should be directed to the office (info@manningtreebenefice.co.uk).
