St Francis Church is situated in a mainly residential suburb of Rochester, and a commuter town for London.
We aim to be a Christian community, building bridges with local people through childrens work, contacts with local schools and ministering to those who live and work in the area.
Our church fellowship meets at 10.30 am and uses Holy Communion (Common Worship) most weeks (except 2nd Sunday when we have 8 am Holy Communion (BCP) and 10.30 am All Age Worship.
We have plans to reorder our building for community use; install new heating, improve kitchen facilities and ensure that the building is more user-friendly.
We would aim to use the building for groups both large and small to meet for facilities which are needed in the area.
