The Church Buildings and Pastoral Reorganisation Team straddles statutory and non-statutory functions relating to the care and use of church buildings and churchyards, and the organisation of parishes and benefices. We aim to provide advice and support to help you grow in confidence with the future of your buildings and congregations. Our pages provide some guidance and information as a starting point to answer some of your initial questions but we are always happy to answer any additional queries or concerns you may have. You can find our contact information under “Meet the Team”.
