We use a medieval church whose tower dominates the market town of Tenterden with its wide tree-lined street. Our worship is of both ancient and modern types and our worshippers embrace a wide range of Christian custom. Our usual Sunday morning services are an early spoken Rite B communion with a later sung Rite A communion. On the first Sunday of each month the latter is replaced by a Family Service intended to embrace all who love the Lord, of whatever individual age or circumstance. On that first Sunday the evening sevice is a Rite B communion, whereas Choral Evensong (B.C.P.) is usual at other times. The Sunday evening service may be celebrated in some other format, according to need.

Church Calendar

Our church has a branch of the Mothers' Union

St. Mildred's is one of the great town churches of Kent, a county where many rural churches are small and with low towers and spires. The church of this prosperous medieval town (a limb of the Cinque Ports Confederation) had its lofty and conspicuous tower added in the fifteenth century, though our oldest bell is a century older than that.

Our church has some graves of the family of JANE AUSTEN

Thank you for your visit. Go in peace.

O loving Lord, the source of all joy and goodness,

we praise you for the life and example of our patron,

Mildred of Thanet,

who preached the Christian faith in pagan times;

and we pray that, as the radiance of your love was seen in her faith,

her devotion, and her good works,

so we, in this unbelieving generation, may show forth practical love,

generous compassion, and joyful faith.

We ask this for your name's sake. Amen.
