LONG HANBOROUGH METHODIST CHURCH

At the centre of the village and community

WELCOME TO

Long Hanborough is situated on the edge of the Cotswolds, 5 miles East of Witney 3 miles West of Woodstock and 8 miles NW of Oxford.

Our Superintendent Minister Rev Ian Duffy

is married to Liz, they have two children and two grandchildren.

Before becoming a minister he served his apprenticeship in H.M. dockyard Portsmouth and moved on to become a leading draughtsman at M.O.D.(N) headquarters in Bath. It was there that he met Liz and married her 37 years ago. He trained at Wesley College in Bristol and by the time he retires in 2015 he will have served in four circuits, in two as Superintendent Minister.

He is thrilled to have Long Hanborough and Freeland added to his pastoral responsibilities, and to be working with Jenny Sexton.

He is looking forward to exploring together different ways of encouraging the churches to grow and fulfil their ‘Mission Statement’.

Our Mission Statement

Our vision is to be a community filled with the Holy Spirit, led by God, active in worship, prayer and study, sharing the love of Christ within the World.

Jenny Sexton is our Lay Pastoral Worker she is married to Gary and they have three children.

She will be working with Ian and Pastoral Visitors in the pastoral care of church fellowships at Long Hanborough and Freeland. This will consist mainly of visiting people at home or in hospital, and attendance at gatherings and weekly drop-Ins.

Our church family welcome all who come among us and we pray that they will find blessing  in our midst.
