Welcome to our churches

Our vision is to be a centre for the proclamation of the Gospel by setting an example of a life of worship and loving service that attracts and welcomes people.

Worship is central to the life of our churches; a range of services is offered across our churches reflecting the needs of our town and rural life, and incorporating both traditional and more modern styles of worship.

We can’t wait to welcome you.

The new Archdeacon of Wilts, the Venerable Louise Ellis will be with us on Ash Wednesday to help us begin our Lenten journey.

Archdeacon Louise said after her licensing last summer: “It was a wonderful welcome at St Denys Warminster . . . to mark the beginning of my ministry as Archdeacon of Wilts. Having spent the last eight years in the south of the diocese I am delighted to be staying the Diocese of Salisbury and am looking forward to getting to know the people, places and communities in Wiltshire.

Everyone is welcome on Wednesday, 18th February, 2026
