What is our purpose?

This Deanery is a grouping of 18 Church of England parishes and two hospitals embracing the communities of Barnet, Borehamwood, Totteridge and Potters Bar. The purpose of this Deanery is to support and encourage one another, to do together what we cannot easily do apart, and through Deanery Synod (a level of church governance), provide a forum for sharing and working together for the well-being of all.

What are we about?

Deanery Synod has a number of functions that assist parishes and church councils in their work. Our key focus in 2022 includes working and supporting each other in the following areas:

Youth and children’s work.

Environment (God’s creation).

Being disciples:
building local relationships and being the family of God.

More details about our work can be found here.

What is this website about?

This website is a resource and support for clergy and laity serving in any way in the deanery. Here are links to the churches of the Deanery, to useful documents and other resources, together with key deanery contact details. It’s a functional website connecting you with what matters in the deanery.

Please feedback any ideas you have to make this website even more useful for you.
