​Welcome

Welcome​ to the website for the Wycombe Deanery, part of the Diocese of Oxford in the Church of England.​​

​Our Deanery is a family of 35 churches spread across 28 parishes in and around High Wycombe.  Like any family, this one contains significant diversity. It stretches from the Thames Valley in the South East to the Chiltern Escarpment in the North West. We have urban areas in High Wycombe, a few small towns and dozens of villages in the beautiful surrounding countryside.
One thing we share in common is a vision to see the churches of Wycombe Deanery flourishing individually, working effectively together and contributing to the renewal of the wider church.

We believe passionately that God is at work renewing and reforming his church in this country and we are committed to playing our part in this work. We believe that as we join together, each sharing freely what God has given us, the Spirit will lead us into growth as we follow Jesus together.

To guide us on this journey, we have articulated four priorities that we hope will underpin all we do together:
Our Priorities for 2025-30
​
Strengthening the next generation
We encourage every parish to identify the next step they can take to grow their ministry with children, youth, and young adults. 

Discerning opportunities for new congregations
We want churches to ask where God might be calling them to start something new. 

Developing clergy for lifelong mission and ministry
We want to develop and support our clergy for ministry over the long haul.
​
Supporting churchwardens and lay leaders
We recognise the vital role that lay people play in the health and future of our churches.
On this website, you will find details of our churches, our strategic deanery plan and other information about our life together. Please pray for us, and let us know if there is any way we can serve you.
