Running a church is not dissimilar to running many other organisations.  Notwithstanding the Pastoral work undertaken, there are all the practical aspects associated with running a church; there are plans to be made, meetings where decisions are taken, committees to make those decisions, budgets to manage, buildings to maintain, newsletters and magazines to print, etc etc etc.

Much of the work undertaken at St Augustine's is carried out by volunteers, who work under the guidance of the Vicar and the PCC.  If things are a bit of a mystery click through the links on the left hand side of the page to find out more about how the church is run. 

Facts and Figures

The number on the  Electoral Roll is at present 188 showing an increase each year since the last renewal in 2019.  Which means that inbetween lockdowns we saw a rise in people joining our church and signing up to be on our Electorial Roll

In recent years there has been a slow rise in Baptisms, Wedings and Funerals and we are always happy to receive enquiries about having your ceremony at St Augustine's.
