St
Marys Speldhurst has a lively congregation, at whose
centre is the life and teaching of Jesus Christ.
All ages are welcome at each
service, but for part of the 10 a.m. Parish Communion and
Service of the Word services the Sunday Club is available
for those of school age. A Crêche is available at all
10 a.m. services.
Our aim is to be a Family, open to all,
in which everyone can learn to love Jesus and serve him in
the power of the Holy Spirit. We meet together to worship
God; to respond to his word and to listen to his will. We
believe in the power of prayer, and are always ready to pray
with you or for you for any problem that you may be going
through.
St Marys is part of the United Parish
of Speldhurst with St Martin's Church, Ashurst and St John's
Church, Groombridge.
There has been a church on the site since
Saxon times. The current church built in 1879 has fine
windows by William Morris and Burne
Jones. To see some pictures of the church click

Although a village Church we are also very
aware of our responsibilities not only to those in the village,
but further away. Our link church in London is Christ Church,
North Brixton, and there is a regular flow of information
and visits. We also support a Church Mission Society
link couple in Nepal - Paul and Jean Dobbing. Click
