Godalming Minster

Who we are

Godalming Minster was born on 1 January 2024 when the parishes of Busbridge, Godalming and Hambledon came together, sharing the priorities of deepening discipleship, growing ‘younger’ and furthering mission and evangelism across the greater Godalming area.

Our culture and values

A community, not a church building

Godalming Minster represents people from many walks of life, backgrounds, ethnicity, political views, employment routes, incomes, places we live, where we work and what we do for hobbies.  Our mission is expressed in groups and activities for every age and stage, for those with particular interests and those with particular needs, touching all areas in our wonderful community.

A spiritual identity, vision and culture

People gather at our four church sites from across the area based on activities, style of worship and relationships.  Wherever you meet, we share a the same vision, culture and priorities of following Jesus, loving people and renewing faith.

One Minster, four locations

Our four churches each serve their local communities, and many people have deep and long-standing connections both with their local area and their church building. There are also people who travel across the Minster parish, and from further afield who have found a spiritual home in a particular location.

To encourage the sense and identity of being part of Godalming Minster, we refer to the buildings by location, rather than their historic saints names – but you may hear both used.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

Godalming Minster is committed to promoting equality, diversity and inclusion in everything we do. We value the differences that a diverse workforce brings, and we are committed to creating an environment where everyone is treated with dignity and respect, regardless of who they are.
