The Parish of Rayleigh is a parish or district of the Church of England within the Diocese of Chelmsord. The parish has a thriving Anglican community with three worshipping congregations : Holy Trinity, St. Michael and All Angels and Grovewood. (see our page Holy Trinity, St. Michael’s and Grovewood for directions). You will be very welcome at our services. Our church family is made up of young and old alike. We are child friendly, see our Young Church page.

We are an active church community, with groups and activities for people of all ages, (see the Events page). Many families with children at local schools attend our services. So please call in if you are new to the area or would like to know more about the life of the Church in Rayleigh. We are always pleased to see newcomers.

Our modern well equipped Parish centre was opened in 1995, and is used by both church groups and many other local clubs and organisations. Please see our Church Groups pages for details
