Our mission, Values and Aims

We are the Anglican and Methodist church of Saint Andrew Paddock Wood. We worship in the Christian faith together providing for a strong and active place of worship, under a common fellowship, for the whole community of Paddock Wood and the surrounding area.

St.Andrew's Church Paddock Wood is first and foremost a friendly church, which is best expressed in the biblical passage:

"If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose." Philippians 2: 1-2

We are a partnership between the Anglican Church in the Diocese of Rochester and the Methodist Church in the Circuit of Tonbridge. We reach out and engage with those from the local community whilst also having a strong global commitment to mission.

Our inclusive services and worship reflect both traditions in a modern, accessible and friendly atmosphere.
