About Us
Whether you have been a Christian for years or you are just exploring what the Christian faith is all about, there is a place for you here. At the heart of the Arle Valley Benefice is the belief that the Lord Jesus is alive and that as we meet him we are changed. Healing love and hope begin to replace fear and self-preoccupation.
The Arle Valley Benefice is a group of four Church of England parishes serving the town of New Alresford and the villages of Old Alresford, Ovington and Bighton, situated in Hampshire in the Diocese of Winchester. We are one church family that is made up of people from very different and varied church backgrounds.
We love seeing new people and are confident you will feel right at home. We don’t always get things right and we don’t have all the answers, but we do try to be faithful Christians, living lives in our local community that reflect the teachings of Jesus.
Sunday mornings begin with a warm welcome and an invitation to join us in celebrating the Good News about Jesus Christ. Our worship is varied to meet the needs of our town and village communities and encompasses the traditional and the modern approaches to worship. Whatever the mode of worship, we expect God to meet with us and speak to us.
