Who we are
The church in Barham tries to have something for everyone. There are the quieter and more traditional services, along with the more lively family services and the very informal 'Messy Church'. All are welcome, regardless of age or situation. As part of the Church of England, we see ourselves as serving the whole parish of Barham, and regions beyond, regardless of people's faith or previous involvement.

Give me a steadfast heart
Give me, O Lord, a steadfast heart which no unworthy thought can drag downwards; an unconquered heart which no tribulation can wear out; an upright heart which no unworthy purpose may tempt aside. Bestow upon me also, O Lord my God, understanding to know you, diligence to seek you, wisdom to find you, and a faithfulness that may finally embrace you; through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
