Hello! I'm Nick Aiken. I'm the Rector of the parish of Wisley with Pyrford, and I'm delighted to welcome you to our parish website.

I hope that your visit here can help you find out more about the exciting things happening in our parish and explain a little about our mission and activities.

 

Our Anglican parish is centred on three churches. The largest is the Church of the Good Shepherd, in the heart of Pyrford, where our Sunday morning services are attended by 300 or so people every week, including around 100 children and youth. We are also blessed with two smaller, historic churches - St Nicholas' on Church Hill, and Wisley.

These three churches, each with its own style, enables us to provide a very wide range of services that together cater for everyone – from the lively family services at the Good Shepherd to traditional Mattins at St Nick’s. On our services page you can find out the types and timings of the services running at each of our churches over the next few months.

Our vision as a parish is 'To share the love of Jesus by being a praying, caring and growing church.' We are acting on this mission by developing our services and focusing on the many and varied ways we interact with the local community. Of course, our overriding aim is to bring the good news of Jesus to the people of Pyrford & Wisley and to do whatever we can to help folk along on their journey of getting to know God.

I am really excited at all the activity going on in and around our churches and the continuing growth in the size of our church “family”.

Do have a browse around this website, where you can find out more about what we are doing. You can hover your mouse over the catagories at the top of the page for the site navigation.

For starters, you might want to have a look at :

Children’s and youth groups
The Alpha course
The Newark Group for men
Women’s Forum
The Coffee Shop
Home Groups
Ministry Team

Of course, there is no substitute for first hand experience. Do come along to any of our services, drop into the Coffee Shop, whatever – I can assure you of a very warm welcome at any time.

God bless

Nick
