Welcome

Welcome to the website for the Shoreline Benefice, made up of the parishes of Shotley, Chelmondiston, Harkstead and Erwarton.
Feel free to have a good look around to find out how we try to serve our communities. Information about our services can be found under “What’s on”, where you can also find our weekly news sheet. Basic information about arranging baptisms, weddings or funerals can be found under the tabs above. Any questions, just be in touch and we will do our best to help in whatever way we can!

SAFEGUARDING
The Shoreline Benefice is committed to safeguarding all people from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Safeguarding Officer. Until we have a new website, our safeguarding information can be found under “What’s on”, Resources.
