We are a lively Church of England parish in west Hertfordshire. Our worship is from the central Anglican tradition (using both CW and BCP in some of our churches) and we are inclusive in our welcome to people of many different ages, styles of worship and backgrounds. We aim to be a place of spiritual, intellectual and emotional refreshment.
The Tring Team Parish is made up of five districts: Tring, which is a small market town, and the villages of Aldbury, Long Marston, Puttenham, and Wilstone. The town and villages are situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty - the Chiltern Hills and the Vale of Aylesbury.
There is a large number of young families in the area so alongside the Holy Communion services there are well supported Family Services (All Age Worship) and Sunday Clubs throughout the team. We also minister to the four Church of England schools in the parish.

Whenever there is a 5th Sunday in the month we all join together for a Team act of worship
How do we function as a Team?
Each District manages its day to day affairs through a District Church Council. A Parochial Church Council has overall responsibility for the Team so that working together we can better serve the communities as we seek to build further God’s Kingdom. There is a clear sense of purpose in maintaining the identity and distinctiveness of the individual districts whilst co-operating and sharing resources in key areas.
There are four Team wide committees of the PCC
- Mission
- Education
- Spiritual Growth
- Stewardship Finance
There is a single ministry team across the Team Parish, with clergy and lay ministers taking services in all of the churches. There is a member of the clergy with special responsibility for each of the districts. |
