MK Deanery is the collection of the Anglican churches in Milton Keynes
Some of these churches are centuries old while others are newer than the 'New Bit' of the shopping centre. All are united in being a part of the Church of England.
While a ‘deanery’ is a geographical grouping, it also refers to the governing and organising structure of the local Anglican churches.
But - confusingly, it exists to ‘not be a thing’! The aim is not to become an impressive institution itself, but rather to support and encourage local churches to be healthy, vibrant and sustainable communities, bringing goodness and joy to their local communities.
