Our main act of worship on a Sunday is our 10am service. On the first Sunday of the month we hold an all-age service with communion. On all other Sundays we hold Parish Communion. These services attract a large congregation and everyone is included and welcome to worship with us.

The Parish Communion is in modern language (Common Worship) with a robed choir and wonderful choral and organ music, along with carefully crafted liturgy to reflect the seasons and feasts of the church year. Creche facilities are available and we have a large junior church who go out during the service. The service is followed by refreshments in the Church Hall.

Please see the relevant pages on this website under 'Services' for more details or please visit our website at www.kcmtw.org.

Safeguarding

The Parish Church of King Charles the Martyr, Tunbridge Wells, takes seriously its safeguarding responsibilities. We follow national guidelines in establishing a range of Safeguarding Policies and Forms. For more information on these national policies and safeguarding training please visit the Diocese of Rochester’s website by clicking here.

If you have concerns over the welfare of a member of the church then please contact one of our safeguarding officers:

Jenny Kerr-Davis, safeguarding officer for children and young people (under 18) 01892 511745
Jenny Selway, safeguarding officer for vulnerable adults 01892 511745

If you are worried about a child or young person (under 18 years) and the information you have suggests that a child is at immediate risk of being harmed, you should tell the police without delay. This is an emergency and it is appropriate therefore to use the police emergency number 999.

If you are worried about a child but do not think that there is a risk of immediate harm, you should still speak to someone who can help as soon as possible. Whilst you can contact one of our two safeguarding officers at the church, we are not an emergency service or a replacement for the Local Authority Children’s Service teams, and you should approach your local Children’s Services.
