We are a mixed group of people who are brought together by friendship and faith. Our aim is to encourage and support each other as we try to meet the ups and downs of daily life with hope and love; to worship God together; and to learn more about Him. We know we all get things wrong sometimes, but we want to do our best to make sure all feel welcomed. The church building lies at the heart of the community of Cliffe, on the Hoo Peninsula in Kent. The Parish includes Cliffe, Cliffe Woods and Cooling and lies about 5 miles north of Rochester. Jesus Christ has been worshipped on this site for at least 1200 years; we value the long heritage and at the same time aim to be relevant to life today.
