St. Andrew's Tilmanstone 

There are a group of ladies who do Flower Arranging, a Church Cleaning team, a Churchyard Maintenance team, and teams who look after the fabric and brass etc, and do the refreshments.  The Tilmanstone Village Hall is owned by the Church and is available for wedding receptions, children's parties etc.


Easter is traditionally a time when the Church welcomes infants as well as older children and adults for baptism. Baptism marks the beginning of a journey with God which continues for the rest of our lives. For all involved, particularly the parents, godparents and sponsors, it is a joyful moment when the wider community of the Church and friends welcome the newly baptised, promising support and prayer for the future.

Do please contact the Churchwardens on 01304 831964 if you would like a conversation about baptism.

 Messy Church

Messy Church has proved a great success since St. Andrew's introduced this new fun concept of all ages sharing worship, craft, music and food together.
 At St. Andrew's for the past ten years it has been hard to attract the village children to the regular services at Church  - they seem to only come at Christmas! We have a beautiful 12th century Church with limited lighting (wonderful stained glass windows!) and only hard pews as seats.  The interior is not really the best environment for young people to move around. 


St Andrew's owns a former Chapel, which is at the opposite end of the Village to the Church.  Now a Hall for the community, it has recently been upgraded to a very high standard and is a perfect location for young people to learn about Church (it has all the physical features of a place of worship) and to have a good time.  Our first Messy Church attracted over thirty children and adults, two thirds who do not attend Church.
