About Broughton Community Church

Our Church Family

If you want an informal, friendly, Bible-based church, with just a hint of the Church of England, then Broughton Community Church is for you!

Broughton is a neighbourhood in Aylesbury, between the Grand Union Canal and the Tring Road. Our church meets every Sunday in Broughton Junior School (on Broughton Avenue, opposite the Parton Road shops). Follow this link to a Map.

Opened in 1989, Broughton Community Church is a church formed from a desire by the local people to have their own church. Hence the congregation meet in the junior school, having outgrown the primary school.

Minister

Rev'd. Dr. Mike Butterworth is our Priest-in-charge. Until 2006 Mike was Principal of the St Albans and Oxford Ministry Course. He is also Director of Interactive Christian Extension Studies (ICES) which is based in St Albans.

Children and Young People

Broughton Church has great depth of care for the children in the congregation. Junior church has a programme of activities which last approximately an hour, during the Sunday morning services. This is organised by Carol Botwright and her team of leaders and helpers using Scripture Union material.

The groups are:

Crèche - in conjunction with Junior Church
Explosion - Nursery to Year 5
The Wall - Year 6
Fridge - Years 7 to 9

They also run Summer activities and special events throughout the year.

For young people there are a number of activities that are run in conjunction with our sister churches and Aylesbury Vale Youth for Christ. These include "Chill" at Holy Trinity and "212" at Aylesbury Grammar School.

Groups

Broughton has a range of 'home groups' which meet usually on a weekly basis to study the Bible and related books in more depth than is possible on the regular services.

There are four that meet in the evenings (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday x2) and one that meets on Tuesday morning. In addition to this several people meet in twos and threes for prayer.

Newcomers are always welcome to any of the homegroups so if you are interested about joining one speak to the leaders about which one would suit you best.

We have run a Family Time group for those who wish to explore the issue of parenting skills.

Pastoral Care

There are a number of people who are prepared to visit anyone who is in need of someone to talk and pray with them.

The team consists of:

Eric Adam
Joe Jannetta
Julie Lewers
Gilly Taylor
Ian Taylor

Mike Butterworth is co-ordinating this work. You can either contact one of these people direct or ring Mike and he will put you in touch with someone who is willing to help.
