Our new (and developing!) website for all seven churches in the Weymouth Ridgeway team.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello and welcome to the Weymouth Ridgeway Team!
We are a group of seven churches serving the<\/strong>
communities<\/strong> on the northern edge of Weymouth.<\/strong>
If you live in Buckland Ripers\/Nottington, Upwey,<\/strong>
Broadwey, Littlemoor, Bincombe,<\/strong>
Preston\/Sutton Poyntz,<\/strong> Osmington\/Osmington Mills<\/strong>
and Poxwell,<\/strong> we are your local Christian community.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

[see Benefice Map<\/a> page for details]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are already a follower of Jesus,<\/strong>
coming back<\/strong> to church or simply curious about<\/strong>
questions of faith,<\/strong> you are welcome amongst us.<\/strong>
We are here for everyone in our local community,<\/strong>
irrespective of personal faith (or lack of it). <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christians from each of the churches are actively<\/strong>
involved in making their local communities a<\/strong>
better place. From hosting organisations such as<\/strong>
Littlemoor Foodbank<\/strong> and AA, to supporting<\/strong>
people in need through the St Andrew’s Angels<\/strong>
or involvement in our local schools, we are committed<\/strong>
to working for a vibrant and resilient Ridgeway area.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, our greatest treasure to offer is our faith.
For thousands of years Christians have lived and<\/strong>
worshipped in this part of Dorset.<\/strong>
Rooted in the love of God for a broken and fallen<\/strong>
humanity, we want to build on that heritage and
share the good news of Jesus with all.<\/strong>
We believe Jesus is the only way to understand life,<\/strong>
to do life and the only way to eternal life.
We would love to invite you to get to know Jesus better.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This website is under construction but you should still<\/strong>
be able to find useful information. If you would like<\/strong>
any further information, or simply want to reach out,<\/strong>
please get in touch.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re delighted that you’ve visited our site and look<\/strong>
forward to welcoming you at one of our<\/strong>
church communities.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the love of Christ,
Rev James Menzies, Team Rector<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
