Find Out About Us
Jesus once said "I've come so that you can live life to the full" we like taking him at His word! At Church on Berryfields there is a massive welcome to any residents who wants to join us in exploring together what it means to follow Jesus in our new community of Berryfields.
Jesus spent much of his time in peoples houses at parties or having meals, we think that's a great place to start, so do link in with us on the web but better still meet with us at one of our midweek meetups in people's homes. We're of all different ages, backgrounds and circumstances and love connecting with new people, so wherever you’ve got to in thinking about God, we would love to get to know you.
Our DNA
Below are our values, the things that make us tick, the core of who we are, the passion in our hearts and the reason why we do the things we do
Building Community
Celebrating Jesus
Being Real
Sharing Life
Together we explore
what it means to follow the way of Jesus and what his transforming news means for our Berryfields community, for the world
and for ourselves.
Together we live on
Berryfields as a
community, celebrating,
eating together and
supporting one another
through the ups and
downs of life.
Together we are part
of the new Berryfields community and are
actively working with
others here to form a vibrant and meaningful place to rest, work and play.
Together as a diverse
community and
individually valued by
God, we would love to
be people who accept
one another and be our real selves.
Our Leaders
Hi, we're Gareth & Jenny Lane and have lived on Berryfields with our 4 children since January 2014, having moved from South Aylesbury where we were for 4 years. Prior to that we lived in High Wycombe where Gareth worked as an IT consultant and Jenny a primary school teacher.
Together we head up Church on Berryfields, Gareth is the Community Vicar as well as Chaplain to the Aylesbury Vale Academy and Berryfields Primary school. He is also one of the Berryfields Parish councilors.
As well as weekly church meetups we have also organised the fundays in the park, carols at Christmas, and launched the Berryfields Tuesday CoffeeStop. We're passionate about making Berryfields an even better place to live and helping us journey in faith as a community.
