Welcome to St John the Baptist Church in Burley

Burley Church is the Parish Church and centre of worship in Burley where Christians of all dominations are welcome. It is dedicated to St John the Baptist and is part of the Deanery of Christchurch within the Diocese of Winchester.

We seek to serve the whole community offering friendship and support as well as spiritual guidance, and worship so that all God's people may know of his unconditional love made known in Jesus Christ. The Vicar and trained Lay Pastoral Visitors visit people in their homes and when requested will offer prayer and home communion.

Burley Church is here for people of all ages.
Activities for children are arranged on Sunday mornings during the Parish Communion service and our monthly Family Service is particularly suitable for them. Younger children may remain in church and a box of toys is provided for them on the carpet at the back. In the run up to Christmas and Easter, we offer an After School Club with stories, games and craft activities for 7 - 9 year olds. The Vicar and other members of the Church are also seen in the local school quite frequently supporting the staff and children.
