We’re a church based in South Tonbridge in Kent, and we’re passionate to know God and to make God known.

We’re part of the Church of England and also have connections with New Wine. We see ourselves as one big family which means we’re quite informal. We have three regular services on Sundays, and there’s also lots going on during the week. You’re really welcome to join us.
