Northanger Benefice

St James East Tisted is part of the Northanger Benefice - one of nine active Churches supported by non-stipendiary clergy, Rev'd Carrie Walshaw and Rev’d Lesley Leon. We also call upon retired clergy and other qualified local clergy to support us. The Churchwardens and Parochial Church Council look after the Church building, graveyard and fixtures and fittings. Contact details are below.
We have a service every Sunday at 10.00, with two lay-led Matins and two clergy-led celebrations of Holy Communion each month. On the fist Sunday of each month we join with other Benefice Churches at different locations as shown on the noticeboard and in the Parish News.
We rely on volunteers to keep the Church fit for purpose and there is always more work to do than hands to do it. If you can help either with time or money (or both) please contact the Churchwardens.
Finally, please remember us in your will, to keep us viable for future generations.
