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.


Our current meetings pattern.

Bradfield meets at 9:30 every Sunday.
At this service you can expect worship which usually includes words from a book and music played on the organ.

Mistley meets at 10:15 every Sunday.
This service usually involves robes and the organ, but we also have Celtic style worship occasionally too.

Lawford meets at 11:00 every Sunday.
This is a very relaxed service, with music usually led by a guitarist or a music band. We have children's work at Lawford every week, too.

All our services are designed to be welcoming, and the lovely people you'll meet when you arrive are welcoming too! We hope you might join us at one of the churches soon.
