Canford Parish Church is both historic and contemporary.  Historic in that we meet in an ancient building in a beautiful setting.  Contemporary because we aim to be a Christ-centred, Biblical, Spirit-led body of people who want to share the message of Jesus Christ in a way that connects with our culture and community.  

Why not check out our website by pressing here and find out more?
Or come and visit us on Sunday morning at 10.30 am.

As a local Anglican church (part of the Canford Magna Team) we aim to be passionate about God, Each Other & the Community of Merley.  We want to encourage anybody, whoever they are and whatever their background, to look into the claims of the Christian Faith and find out how much God cares for them.

We seek to be a real people aiming to put our faith into practice in our daily lives.

Please come and join us at any of our activities, like cell groups and Sunday services (10am), and discover more about the adventure there is in following Jesus!

If we had to describe the church we would place ourselves in the New Wine stable. We are Evangelical and Charismatic, we believe in the authority of the Bible, but just because God has written a book does not mean that he has stopped speaking and moving powerfully in his church. We believe that the 'Gifts of the Holy Spirit' as Paul outlines them in his letters are available today, and we are trying to learn how to walk in them and minister them to each other and the community that we are trying to serve.
