St. Matthew’s is committed to playing our part in fulfilling Christ’s commission to take the Gospel of the Kingdom to people of every tribe, tongue and nation.

• We seek to do this locally through our own evangelism here in High Brooms and more widely in Tunbridge Wells.
• We seek to do this nationally through our relationship with New Wine
• We seek to do this internationally through our partnership with individuals, Churches and Mission agencies.

The map below shows some of our mission links.  You can click on the pointers for more information about the mission link.

Over the summer, you can find out what various church members will be up to.  Click on the yellow markers on the map for more information.
