Meet the Team

Like all other Church of England congregations, we have a structure which reflects the necessary partnership between the priest and the congregation.

Although our church is currently in an Interregnum period (the church doesn't have an acting vicar in the parish) we are still continue to serve the community here at All Saints'. We are incredibly lucky to have our LLM (Licensed Lay Minster) Gillian Wratten who has been extensively trained to perform a number of roles within the church and we have access to a number of retired clergy in the diocese in order to perform funerals, weddings, baptisms and of course collective worship. 

We are run by volunteers but we will endeavour to facilitate your needs wherever we can. We have a Parish Office that is currently open Monday-Friday 9.30am-2.30pm (Term time only) on 07907 022858 or allsaintshbshoffice@gmail.com. If your enquiry is over the weekend or an emergency please contact our Church Warden, Beryl Ord on 07825 321888.

We have a number of volunteers and groups with specific roles:

Our Churchwardens are voted in by the congregation every few years. Their role is crucial and rooted in Church Law. They represent the congregation on the Parochial Church Council and work closely together to discuss our mission and ministry. The role of church warden is involved and involving but it shouldn’t ever mean that the warden is the person who does everything that needs doing. When it comes to active involvement in the life of the church, we should be doing our best to encourage as wide a sharing of responsibilities as possible, just as Jesus did among his apostles. Nicky and the Churchwardens meet once a month. All Saints’ Church has two Churchwardens, Beryl Ord and Marie Edwards.

Every organisation needs a solid group of wise and trusted individuals to oversee and guide its work. The church is no exception. Our PCC is made up from members of the congregation who have been voted in to work with the priest on all matters concerning the inner and outer life of the church. The PCC makes the decisions which truly have an impact on the church, and our work in the community. It meets every other month.All Saints’ Church also takes its place in the wider life of Bassetlaw and Bawtry Deanery and the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham Diocese. Our Christian denomination is ‘Anglican’ and we are part of the Church of England.
