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 (Vicar) |
