Our Mission and Values

At the heart of the Deanery of Bamburgh and Glendale lies a commitment to preserving the spiritual and historical legacy of our churches. We strive to foster a welcoming community that honors tradition while embracing the future. Our mission is to serve as a beacon of faith and hope, nurturing a deep connection to our sacred spaces and the stories they hold.
The Deanery of Bamburgh and Glendale is a tapestry of history and faith, woven through centuries of devotion and community spirit. Our churches stand as monuments to the enduring power of belief, each with its own unique story and architectural beauty. We are dedicated to maintaining these sacred sites, ensuring they continue to inspire and uplift all who visit.
  • We will be the focus for worship, fellowship, discipleship, ministry and mission so that we may share the good news of Jesus Christ with our neighbours, whoever they may be.

  • We will build upon the exceptional Christian heritage of our Diocese and Deanery as a cradle of Christianity.

  • We will harness the collective strengths of the Church regionally and locally for the good of the communities we serve and support.

So that we continue to practice and share our belief in God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit which is at the heart of our faith, and to maintain our ministry as a trusted, compassionate and caring Church. We will continue to be a visible and relevant resource for nurturing faith, and to offer support and help when needed, and to be connected to our communities as a Christian presence for everyone.

As Christians we believe that Jesus is God’s Son, that Jesus reveals to us that God is our Father, and that God is made known to us through the Holy Spirit.
