Joined together for over 300 years, the churches of St Martin's and St Paul's with our people form our parish, serving the city, inclusive of all to walk together and live out the Christian faith.
View parish homepageWelcome to St Pauls (Without the Walls) - a church in the centre of Canterbury standing just outside the city walls.
Visitors to St. Paul’s without the Walls tell us that we are a very friendly church and that in our worship they will find the blend of tradition and modernity that defines our community. Our worship is broadly traditional but we hope you will also find it relaxed and full of joy.
Our flexible, warm and large worshipping space means we now have 5 main worshipping communities (some more traditional, some less so) who meet at different times throughout the week or month, but we are all one family and one congregation.
Our aim is that here, as an Inclusive Church all can find a ‘place to belong’ here and that our different types of worship help facilitate a meaningful encounter with God, influencing the way we live our lives.
St Paul’s is open each day for prayer and stillness in the midst of our busy lives and city.
