Community & Outreach...
St Leonard's church has always had a place in the heart of the community. Being actively involved in village and community life is an important part of our mission. Just as Jesus took practical steps to love, help, heal and support all he embraced, so we too try to organise ourselves to make sure our help is relevant and useful in today's changing world. By following Jesus's example to love and help your neighbour, so we hope to make a positive difference within our village and community.
​
For the past 15 years the Ministry Team in Sherfield have worked hard to establish a firm foundation for these Christian communities, based on strong, methodical Biblical teaching in the churches, prayer and regular nurture through Home Groups, Christian teaching courses and active discipleship.
