About
The Church continues to be alive and active!
Welcome to St Peter and St Paul’s Church, Lingfield. We are a friendly, warm community, situated in the heart of the village and are committed to loving and serving all that live, and visit, or village.
We are proud of our ancient church building, but the real church is its people.
We are a mixture of people from every walk of life. Our mission is to build God’s kingdom in our hearts and homes, in our church, our community and beyond. God’s kingdom is where God’s will is done, and where God’s will is done there is love, joy and peace.
We are an inclusive Church with a mission to reach and connect with all in our community and are part of the national Inclusive Church Network. This means that “We believe in inclusive church – a church which celebrates and affirms every person and does not discriminate against people on grounds of disability, economic power, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, learning disability, mental health, neurodiversity, or sexuality or any other grounds that anyone can think of that excludes rather than includes". If you would like to know more about Inclusive Church, then this is the link to their website.
