The Challenge of Local Change
Over the next twenty years a new community centred at Ebbsfleet will be constructed in the hinterland between the towns of Dartford and Gravesend. This area was previously dominated by cement and paper production but these industries have ceased, making their sites available for redevelopment. The new community will also incorporate the existing villages of Northfleet, Swanscombe, Greenhithe and Stone and will, over the next two decades, grow to become the ECONOMICAL, SOCIAL and COMMERCIAL CENTRE of NORTH KENT.

- Ingress Park; Eastern Quarry;

Our Programme
Our seven Churches are warm and welcoming and are preparing for the challenge. We have changed our Circuit name to reflect the significance of these changes. We are gearing ourselves for mission and church growth. We are hoping to deliver Welcome Packs to all those who are moving into our area. We are aiming to increase our resources to meet the challenge
Our Prayer
Lord, we thank you that the new developments belong to you, and that you are the great architect who holds the plans for the future in your hand.
We know that you have plans for all who are being called here; plans for hope in the future. Father we choose to align ourselves with your plans and ask that your will be done in Jesus’ name.
Amen
