Hi and welcome to the website of St John's Folkestone. We hope you'll find what you need here, and that if there's any way we might be able to help you, please do get in touch with us.

Our aim? To become the best church we possibly can: the biggest  numerically, the best in terms of quality, the deepest in our relationship with God and the closest in our relationships with each other. All offers of help gratefully received.

Happy browsing!

Once again Bishop Trevor is calling the Diocese to a special season of prayer for the renewal of the church by the Holy Spirit, from Ascension Day to Pentecost (May 18-27th). As last year 'Pocket Prayers' cards will be available to help you pray each day during this period. Pick one up today, and decide how you might use this special period for some special praying.

Sunday June 3rd at 16:00, followed by a champagne cream tea. Posters and invitations are available for you to take and help publicise this event. Please use them to bring loads of people along!

Details of our new 10:45 teaching series here.
