Building Your Church (BYC) was our major project to improve how we serve the community here in Oxshott.
The first initiative, funding a minister to have special responsibility for children and families, involved Revd Patrick Davies, previously our curate here, being formally appointed to serve as Associate Minister in our parish with particular focus on Families and Children. This has had the hoped-for impact, with a welcome increase in local engagement; we are delighted that Patrick is now our Vicar.
The second major initiative was to radically refresh the ancillary buildings here at church, including the vestibule, hall, office, kitchen and toilets.
Completion of the work was marked with an opening ceremony as part of our Community Open Day on Pentecost Sunday, 8 June 2025. We are delighted that the much-welcomed new facilities are already well used – including a pleasing increase in use from across the village.
