St Lawrence "Palladian"

We really do try to be a friendly and welcoming bunch, and know that many of our "regulars" are not accustomed to traditional church services and indeed may not be sure of their own beliefs. We see this as being entirely natural. Most folk have doubts and questions: isn't that a condition of being a thoughtful human person? As a church built to resemble a temple to Apollo, a Greek god associated with enlightenment, we feel we should be a place open to enquiry as well as faith.

Various secular events are held in the church during the year, many of them musical but also literary, particularly associated with one of our famous residents, George Bernard Shaw. In recent years we have run fully staged, professional plays. Such events help us raise money to maintain our church building.

St Peter & St Paul's Kimpton

We are a Christian Anglican Church whose aim is to make Christ known in Kimpton. We are open every day to serve the whole village of Kimpton. We aim to be active and visible at the heart of Kimpton life: we are an inclusive church, called to be caring, loving and welcoming to all.

We gather together on Sundays to worship God. Everybody is welcome to join us including children and families. There is a children's area on the south side of the church at the front. You will find a warm friendly welcome at any of the services you attend.

The church is also open every day during daylight hours for you to come and find a quiet and peaceful space, to visit our amazing book and jigsaw swap area or to access our Food table.
