• Welcome

    Thank you for visiting the Chet Valley Churches Website where you will be able to discover more about us and what is happening. The Chet Valley Churches are part of the Diocese of Norwich

    We look forward to welcoming you to one of our services, where we hope you'll experience the love of God in Jesus Christ through our worship. 

    To get a flavour of what you can see take a virtual tour of our churches, set in beautiful south Norfolk around the River Chet.

    Our church buildings are open during daylight hours in the week for those seeking solace, somewhere to visit or just to take some time out.

    Each Sunday, for the past three years, we have uploaded an act of worship onto our YouTube Channel. Whilst we may well upload occasional service our final regular weekly service was the great celebration of Easter for 2023. Past services are available by visiting our YouTube Channel

    The Calendar contains details of what is happening in the parishes of the Chet Valley. 

    Our latest news is available in our Weekly What's On which can be downloaded here 

    You can download the current issue of our monthly magazine, Chet Contact for June 2023, and previous issues are available via the Chet Contact Magazine tab.

    Our churches range from a tiny thatched church to a huge 15th century building, and our styles of worship vary too.

    Like many rural churches, service times are not always the same every week. If you’re planning to visit us, check out the calendar to see what’s on.

    Our Sunday services encompass both traditional and contemporary styles. Some follow the Book of Common Prayer (BCP) or Common Worship versions of the Holy Communion service while others are aimed at being more informal and family friendly, in particular All Together Worship and Xpressions Café.

    To find out more about the Church week by week, have a browse through the website, or click on the link on this page to find our weekly What's On. Daily Prayer is is said most weekday mornings. To join in at home or on the move then visit the Prayer tab above.

     

    On the rest of the site we'll be telling you about who we are. We hope that you'll like what you find and come and join us for some of the events. To make things easy to start with, here are the main services. It is always worth checking on the calendar however,  to see if there are any changes.
