Quarterly update on the Called Together vision

Growing God’s kingdom across the Diocese of Rochester

Our church is part of the Diocese of Rochester. As a family of faith across Medway, north and west Kent, and the London Boroughs of Bromley and Bexley, we are on a shared journey to grow God’s Kingdom. This diocesan-wide plan – known as Called Together - has received nearly £11 million from the National Church to support work to make this vision a reality. Read the latest update on how work is progressing by visiting: www.rochester.anglican.org/about-us/ourvision/progress-updates/
