Welcome to St Mary's Church, located in the centre of Westerham in Kent. On 1st July 2024 we became one half of the Benefice of Crockham Hill and Westerham with our sister church of Holy Trinity, Crockham Hill. 

Whoever you are, wherever you live, whatever church (if any) you consider ‘yours’, whatever life is like for you and regardless of money, status, (dis) ability or anything else, you are welcome at any and every service in the Benefice. We're here for the whole community, and absolutely everyone is very welcome to come to one of our services, even if you've never been to church before. 

Our Worship

Our worship is varied, from traditional Book of Common Prayer services to informal worship with modern music, and whether you're a lifelong Christian or wondering about faith for the first time, we hope that you will discover a spiritual home among us.  

Our main Sunday service is at 10.30 am but there are also regular services at 8.00am and 6.00pm, and through the week.

To find out more, or to arrange a wedding, funeral or baptism in either of our churches, please contact the Benefice Office on 01959 561330 or [email protected]

St Mary's is open for visitors and personal prayer, from 9am each day. Please feel free to join us for Morning Prayer which is usually said at that time.
