Single Friendly Church

UK society is changing. 40% of adults are single - and this is increasing in every age group. We are a church where single people feel included and valued.

Eco Church

St Alphege Church has been awarded a Silver Eco Church Award. Find out what that means and how we did it here.

We are proud to be an official ally of Plastic Free Whitstable: a group of concerned local residents trying to reduce single-use plastic in our community. PFW achieved Plastic-Free status from Surfers Against Sewage, the first place in Kent to do so.
