Temple Hill Baptist Church

Dartford, UK

We are a Christian community that tries to live out our calling by welcoming, worshiping, and working in and around our neighbourhood. A core value of the Christian faith, taught by Jesus is the importance of helping others who are less fortunate. In line with this core value we recently (September 2021) set up a Food Bank to offer help and support to families in crisis living around Temple Hill and surrounding areas in Dartford. The Food Bank is open to all, regardless of faith, race or gender. You can find out more on the link below. https://nextdoor.co.uk/p/3mShpx-HK7fx?utm_source=share&extras=MTc1OTIxOTQzNTE3NjM%3D
