about us

We are a group of people committed to ‘Sharing the life and love of God with the community,’ especially the community of Hanwell Fields. We aim to be partners in building a vibrant community life here on our estate.  We do this primarily through various events and gatherings and by being part and parcel of everyday life.

We have been living and working in this part of Banbury for 8 years and we are fully committed to Hanwell Fields, working closely with the local Community Primary School and the Community Association.

We are part of St Francis Church, in Highlands on the Hardwick Estate.  We have one full time paid person and everyone else volunteers their time and energy.

We are Christians who believe that faith is to be lived out in the arena of life with all it’s ups, downs and ‘messiness.’ 

We invite you to come and get involved with what we are doing!  If you have any ideas of how to enhance community life here on Hanwell Fields please get in touch via the contact page.

Thanks 

Rev Chris Gaynor

Encounter at Hanwell Fields is about encountering each other and God. Journeying together in the ‘messiness’ of life.
