Welcome to Cross Reach Churches
We are a group of three parishes in north Essex, meeting in Mistley with Manningtree, Lawford, and Bradfield, with a desire to worship God, to love each other, to grow in in the knowledge and love of Jesus, and to serve the communities around us.
We meet every week for worship, teaching, prayer, and friendship. You can find out about Sunday services here, and other groups through the week here.
We are also privileged to hold baptisms, weddings, and funerals. If you’d like to know more about those services, click here.
We love to welcome visitors and new family members – if you’ve got any questions before coming to church for the first time, check here first, but otherwise please feel free to contact us.
And if you’d like to get in touch, you find all of our details here. We’d love to chat!
We are committed to Safeguarding Children, Young People, and Vulnerable Adults. The PCCs have adopted the Church of England’s policies and best practice on safeguarding which may be found on the Church of England’s website. Our Benefice Safeguarding Representatives are Jean Points and Moira French, who may be contacted at church or by email safeguarding@crossreachchurches.co.uk and lawford.safe@crossreachchurches.co.uk .
