In the heart of heighington and open to all
You are certain of a warm welcome at St Michael’s. Come
along to one of our services and worship God in a friendly and
inviting atmosphere. We have both Church of England and
Methodist members. The parish also has a second small
church, St Andrew’s, at Bolam. We are proud of our strong links
with Heighington CE Primary School.
If you come to a service at 9.30am on a Sunday or at 10am on a Thursday, please join us for tea or coffee and biscuits afterwards, with a pleasant chat, and also purchase items from the Traidcraft stall or bookshelf.
The
recently
refurbished
church
tower
was
originally
a
watch-tower
and
signal
station
—
but
now
provides
a
reference
point,
representing
peace of a different sort.
People
have
worshipped
here
for
centuries
–
St
Michael’s
has
stood
since
Norman
times
–
and
today
Christians
are
working
out
what
it
means
to
be
followers
of
Jesus
Christ
in
our
own
times too.
Our
church
is
the
centre
of
the
village,
and
as
a
congregation
we
seek
to
be
identified
with
the
community
of which we are a part.

Policy for Responding to Domestic Abuse
All forms of domestic abuse are wrong and must stop. We are committed to promoting and supporting environments which:
●
ensure that all people feel welcomed, respected and safe from abuse;
●
protect those vulnerable to domestic abuse from actual or potential harm;
●
recognise equality amongst people and within relationships;
●
enable and encourage concerns to be raised and responded to appropriately and consistently.
We recognise that:
o
●
all forms of domestic abuse cause damage to the survivor and express an imbalance of power in the relationship;
o
●
all survivors (regardless of age, disability, gender, racial heritage, religious belief, sexual orientation or identity) have the
right to equal protection from all types of harm or abuse;
o
●
domestic abuse can occur in all communities;
o
●
domestic abuse may be a single incident, but is usually a systematic, repeated pattern which escalates in severity and
frequency;
o
●
domestic abuse, if witnessed or overheard by a child, is a form of abuse by the perpetrator of the abusive behaviour;
o
●
working in partnership with children, adults and other agencies is essential in promoting the welfare of any child or adult
suffering abuse.
We will endeavour to respond to domestic abuse:
In all our activities by valuing, listening to and respecting both survivors and alleged or known perpetrators of domestic abuse.
In our publicity by
raising awareness about other agencies, support services, resources and expertise, through providing information
in public and women-only areas of relevance to survivors, children and alleged or known perpetrators of domestic abuse.
When concerns are raised we will–
ensure that those who have experienced abuse can find safety and informed help;
work with the appropriate statutory bodies during an investigation into domestic abuse, including when allegations are made
against a member of the church community.
ensure that informed and appropriate pastoral care is offered to any child, young person or adult who has suffered abuse;
identify and outlining the appropriate relationship of those with pastoral care responsibilities for both survivors and alleged or
known perpetrators of domestic violence
