Welcome to the newly renamed Parish of Greater Herne!

Why Greater Herne?  This is the Church of England Parish Church for everyone who lives in Herne, Greenhill, Broomfield, Eddington, Talmead, Stillwater, Oxenden Park, Lower Herne and Herne Common. That's quite a list - and it is still growing! We welcome all new residents to our community, and to reflect the growing parish we felt it was time that our name caught up... 

The historic Grade 1 listed church building of St Martin-in-Herne has been at the centre of the community in Herne for over 700 years. It is our parish church, and continues to offer worship, a space for prayer and where weddings, baptisms and funerals take place. It's open daily to visit and explore its history, as well as for reflection and a place of peace. 

St Peter's Church Greenhill was built in 1960 as a Community Hall and place for worship, and still serves the growing area of Greenhill today. Both St Peter's and St Martin's Church Hall are available for hire.

We're an ordinary bunch of people who try to live by the values and teaching of Jesus Christ, and who try to love one another as he loves us.  All our activities are our way of sharing God's love as we grow as God's people.

Whether you're looking for a church to call home or are just exploring the Christian faith, you are very welcome, whoever you are. We are simply pleased to be called together to serve the people who live and work in our communities, as well as those who are passing through or those who are simply visiting.
