Leigh Church

St Mary's is a parish church in Leigh, Kent, where followers of Jesus have been worshipping for most of a thousand years. The church was originally completed in the 13th century, although an ealier church is believed to have stood on the same site. It is a Grade II* listed building. It occupies the highest point of the village, overlooking the village green.

St Mary's is...Creating a Loving Church Community

St Mary’s is building a loving church community by creating a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels valued and respected, where individuals from diverse backgrounds and walks of life can find acceptance and belonging. This is achieved through intentional efforts such as warm greetings, open arms, and a genuine interest in getting to know each person who walks through the church doors. 

Welcoming, Supportive, Loving, Generous & Ambitious.

"We serve the Lord God Almighty: we are a warm, friendly, Christ centred church that welcomes your company and offers support"

Striders & Strollers
Leigh Striders and Strollers is an informal village walking group for all ages
and all walking abilities. Some walkers come along most weeks whilst others
pop along from time to time.
We meet every week on a Wednesday at 9.30am on the Green and take it
from there. Sometimes we walk from the Green but we may also drive short
distances to enjoy walks in our neighbouring villages. The walks tend to range
between 2 and 4 miles and generally we are back in the village between
10.30am and 11.30am. Some of us then go along to Coffee Stop for some
welcome refreshments (see below).
If you would like to be added to the Striders and Strollers WhatsApp Group
please contact Helen Scott on 07963 093660.

Coffee Stop
Coffee stop is on Wednesday mornings in the Genner Rooms, or outside if
the weather is warm enough, 10am to 12 noon. Come for a cup of coffee or a
tea, cake and a chat.

Heydays Film Club
The Film Club runs every 2nd Tuesday of the month, in the Genner Rooms. It is

Safeguarding

Staying Safe & Secure
‘Safeguarding’ means the action the Church takes to promote a safer culture in all our churches. In order to achieve this, we all need to work together and be aware of our responsibilities. We will promote the welfare of children, young people and adults. We will work to prevent abuse from occurring. We will seek to protect those who are at risk of being abused and respond well to those who have been abused. We will take care to identify where a person may present a risk to others and offer support to them whilst taking steps to mitigate such risks.
Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility
Here at St Mary’s Church, Leigh, we take safeguarding seriously. You will find all information and guidance booklets on our website http://stmarysleigh.org.uk
or hard copies are available in the church porch.
If you are concerned or aware of any safeguarding issues connected with the church, please contact the appointed Parish Safeguarding Officer
