Yardley Hastings Benefice
The United Benefice of
Yardley Hastings, Denton and Grendon
with Castle Ashby and Whiston
The good news of Jesus Christ speaks of welcome for all,
with a particular regard for those who are most vulnerable,
into a community where the value and dignity of every human being
is affirmed and those in positions of responsibility and authority are truly trustworthy.
