Parish of Rayleigh

A Church Family on a Journey of Faith Together

Welcome

We are a Church of England Parish of two churches (Holy Trinity and St Michael’s) serving God and the local community in Rayleigh.
We'd like to extend a warm welcome and introduce you to the church family.

The Parish of Rayleigh is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer, PSO. The Diocese of Chelmsford’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.
