About us


We are an Anglican team of three parish churches in the beautiful town of Swanage and one church in Studland, on the Isle of Purbeck. Each of our church congregations and buildings have different traditions and history but we are firmly committed to “Making Jesus known” as our heartbeat, seeking to share the love of Christ in word and action across our community and beyond. We appreciate the diversity across the team allowing different people to encounter God in the different styles of services each church offers. 

We are blessed with a strong and vibrant Churches Together in Swanage Group and are committed to working together to make Jesus known across a variety of ecumenical projects and events.

Do look at the individual church pages to get a feel of our different traditions.

We warmly welcome you to join us,

Ian (team rector) and Jo (team vicar)
