St Peter’s Parish Church, Bocking – Our Vision

  • To be a spiritual centre for our community that welcomes people of all ages, values our Anglican tradition whilst happily working with other Churches, and helps people grow in faith and be active in sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with others.
  • To serve our local area as good Christian neighbours, offering care and help where we can, and being involved in and supportive of local organisations that help enrich people’s lives.
  • To look outward to the wider world,  rejoicing in the diversity and beauty of God’s creation, and doing what we can to help people who are in need through poverty, conflict and injustice, and also to care for and respect our natural environment.
  • To enable all the members of our congregations to feel at home and to find and use their gifts, so that our Vision of a welcoming, inclusive, outward-looking community of faith may be fully realised.                               
    Agreed by the PCC May 2012 – amended August 2019 
We are committed to Safeguarding children and young people and vulnerable adults.

The PCC has adopted the Church of England’s policies and best practice on safeguarding which may be found on the Church of England’s website: https://www.churchofengland.org/more/safeguarding, or on the Safeguarding pages of the Chelmsford Diocese: https://www.chelmsford.anglican.org/safeguarding

Details of our Parish Safeguarding Representative can be found on the noticeboard in the church and they can be contacted at psr@stpeters-bocking.net

Please report any concerns you may have to them, or directly to the Diocesan Safeguarding team at the website address above.

Please refer to the Safeguarding tab at the top of this page for information on Safe Spaces, a free and independent service run by the charity Victim Support and funded by the Church of England together with the Catholic Church in England and Wales and the Church in Wales.

It offers confidential support to survivors of church-related abuse (anyone who has been abused by someone in the Church or as a result of their relationship with the Church of England, the Catholic Church of England and Wales or the Church in Wales) whether or not a report has been made. The Safe Spaces helpline number is 0300 303 1056.

We are so grateful to the Late Peter Marsden for the creation of the original St. Peter's Parish Website, and for running it for many years.

His huge contribution to the life of our Parish as Webmaster as well as Organist, and in many other practical ways, will always be remembered.
