The United Benefice is comprised of three parishes which serve the eastern end of Herne Bay, the areas of Beltinge, Bishopstone, Hillborough and Reculver, which lie on the north Kent coast, as well as the village of Hoath which is just a couple of miles inland.

Hoath is a small village, with a spread of housing throughout the surrounding countryside.

The other two parishes are largely residential areas, from Edwardian houses nearer Herne Bay, to modern developments nearer Hillborough. We serve somewhere in the region of 14,000 people.

Our Mission statement explains what we believe we are about
“To know Jesus, and to make him known in this area.”

New Web Site under development

A new web site is being developed for the United Benefice and the three Churches.

Once the new site is up and running this site will be re-directed to the new site.
