Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent, a time when many Christians prepare for Easter through fasting, repentance, moderation, and spiritual discipline.

St. Aidan's Parish Church, Leigh-on-Sea

Our Church Vision for 2026

St. Aidan's is a vibrant, welcoming church, at the heart of the community , reflecting God's love for the world and inviting everyone to join in the adventure of living for Him. 

We are a Church of England Parish Church, serving our community. Our weekly Sunday 10am Holy Communion is the centre of our worship. We also have a mid-week, Wednesday, 10am Holy Communion or Morning Prayer service.

We are here to worship God and nurture faith. We are also here to welcome our local community and serve you as best we can.

As a church we have a welcoming ethos that we believe embraces everyone. Our mission to provide friendship and support for older people continues and grows through our Friday Drop-In Centre, an Armchair exercise group and after service coffee. We have a large hall which is well used throughout the week by uniformed organisations and a variety of groups,  who offer a wide choice of activities for all ages. 

Our Church is fifty years old and is a light, modern space which many people comment on as a place of peace and spirituality. We have a Lady Chapel which is used for Bible study and for smaller mid-week services

Come along and discover your local church!
