The Building

This page is being developed with photographs, but in the meantime we offer a brief description:

The church building is set in a small graveyard on Sidcup Hill, a road busy with traffic. The church was established 1836 and is well tended and in good repair, with the exterior and interior well decorated.

There is an entrance porch leading to a vestibule in which glass panels provide a direct view of the sanctuary; furnished with fixed wooden pews; it has recently been re-carpeted.

The blue tiled underfloor baptistery has removable covers and is carpeted over. Including a back gallery the capacity of the church is about 120 persons. There is a pipe organ and a grand piano, raised pulpit and a lectern at floor level, overhead projector and screen. A sound system has been installed and laptop/data projector is occasionally used.

Premises include a large hall with sliding partitions and good kitchen; a room we call The Parlour where mid-week meetings etc take place; an office, and four other rooms. There is a small car park.
