St Mary's Parish Church and Little Baddow Chapel are working together to support the Little Baddow Community.

Today the two churches have a Covenant for joint working with all our work taking precedence over external links. This Covenant is now some 15 years old and is reviewed, strengthened and renewed every 5 years. It is endorsed and signed by the Bishop and URC Moderator as well as the churches. It is summed up by its introduction and statement of intent:

‘We, the members of St Mary's Church and the United Reformed Church, therefore agree that we will endeavour increasingly not to do separately what it is better to do together.’

We see ourselves as an integral and important part of village life and both churches believe that links to community activities and being involved and visible in the village is very important.
