Welcome to St Michael and All Angels Parish Church, Throwley is part of the Parish of High Downs together with the churches of St. Mary, Eastling and St. Mary, Stalisfield with Otterden. We are also part of the Kingsdown and Creekside Benefice and the wider Christian community of the Ospringe Deanery. We have one PCC that is supported by members of each church in the parish. We meet and share regularly in worship, fellowship and joint parish events throughout the year. You and your family will receive a warm welcome should you wish to join our church
The Church is the only community building serving our village and therefore a very important part of the life of the Community. We hold two services a month at 10.30 on the 2nd (morning worship) and 4th Sundays (Holy Communion), and some special services from time to time, as well as some community events . If you wish to contact us, or need more information, there are numbers listed here and on the "about us" page of this website (https://www.achurchnearyou.com/church/11996/about-us/).
The Church is generally open at weekends and also on Wednesdays from Easter to October.
