St Peter and St Paul's Church Aylesford, Kent

A WARM WELCOME

Welcome to St Peter and St Paul's Church, the Parish of Aylesford and Eccles in Kent. We are a Church of England parish in the Diocese of Rochester. As a church we are a mix of friendly people from different backgrounds but united in wanting to grow in the Christian faith. We question our faith, learn from each other and enjoy being together. We are keen, as well, to be a church at the heart of the community of Aylesford, so we plan events which will make more use of the Church and also enables people to value the Church and facilities whatever their beliefs.

Best wishes to you all

Chris van Straaten (Revd)
