About Us
St Peter's with Junction is the church community at the heart of Boughton Monchelsea. Together we worship and explore what it means to follow Jesus Christ and share his hope. We are a church family of all ages, backgrounds and situations in life. So, whoever you are, we would like to welcome you if you wish join us. We have two congregations within close proximity where we offer different styles of service in which to pursue, our worship of God together, our commitment to learning about the Bible as God's word as well as a desire to share this with others.
There are two services at St Peter's:
An 8:00am service on the 2nd and 4th Sundays: This is a Book of Common Prayer Communion service, which is quiet and meditative.
At 10.15am, there is a lively service in a friendly family atmosphere where all ages come together to worship. Tea and coffee are served afterwards. Holy Communion is usually celebrated on 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month.
Junction:
A warm welcome awaits you, along with coffee / tea and biscuits, on Sundays at 10.30am at Junction Church. This service is held in the Village Hall on Church Street, opposite the primary school.
We love God and welcome people from all walks of life. We seek to grow together in God’s love and his purpose for our lives. We encourage one another in our personal walks of faith. We are prayer focused and trust God’s word, the Bible, for our daily living in this world.
