Pastoral Care

We believe that God reaches out to those in need, not only through the members of our village churches, but also through all those who show love and kindness to others.

Much caring is carried out quietly and informally. But our local churches also offer pastoral care through formal teams of Pastoral Assistants (in Egerton, Hothfield, Pluckley and Westwell), and through regular social events where you will be able to meet with others, share a cup of coffee, and find friendship and a listening ear.

Below you will find contact details and local information.
