We have four churches in our Parish: All Saints at Hempstead, St Matthew's in Wigmore, St Paul's in Parkwood and St Peter's in Bredhurst.
Currently all four churches have their main Sunday service at 10.30am - details of which type of service is each week in a particular church will be on the church pages linked below.
Over the years our four churches have developed their own unique approach which enriches our Worship and gives people living in the Parish greater choice. We share common ministries and activities. Further details of what is coming up can be found on the pages below:

Our Parish is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO).

If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO Liz at safeguarding@[email protected] or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor [email protected] https://www.rochester.anglican.org/safeguarding
If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
