We believe in loving our neighbour. We hope and pray that we show that in the work that we do throughout the community.
Local Community
Mistley Church Hall: Mistley has a separate Church Hall, which can be hired for community use as well as use for the churches. It’s a grade 2 listed building, originally built in 1911, and is owned and managed by Mistley Church Council. As it is centrally situated in the village it offers great potential with historical and architectural character and is used by community and church groups. If you’d like to find out more about hiring the Church Hall, please email mistleychurchhall@gmail.com.
The Hub is a joint church venture, providing a community space on Manningtree High Street. It is currently mainly used for Fridays@TheHub which offers a chance to meet up and not just talk to each other, but listen. 10.00am-12.30pm, every Friday at The Hub in Manningtree High Street. This also includes the Credit Union.
Manningtree & District Food Bank: our churches were involved in the setting up of the Food Bank, and we’re still supporting it today. This is a vital resource for our communities, and if you’d be interested in using the Food Bank or helping out at it, please see www.manningtreefoodbank.co.uk.

Local Schools:
We’ve got lots of schools in the area, and have had long-term links with several of them. We’ve had less connections with some other schools, but we’re always keen to be getting to know our communities better, and to be making links where we can!
