Erith Deanery

Part of the Church of England Diocese of Rochester, Kent

This website provides a gateway to details about the churches within Erith Deanery.

Erith Deanery consists of 13 parish churches within the Diocese of Rochester (Bromley and Bexley Archdeaconry), and is in the London Borough of Bexley (covering Barnehurst, Belvedere, Bexleyheath, Bostall Heath, Crayford, Erith, Falconwood, Northumberland Heath, Slade Green and Welling).

Erith Deanery provides the opportunity for our churches to work together in proclaiming God's Word and serving our communities. As well as coming together for regular Synods, through Erith Deanery Youth Trust we are working together to seek funding for a childrens and youth work Support Worker - we are close to the total we need for the first year for the post. And we will be organising a quiz night for churches in Erith Deanery on 8th November 2008 at Trinity School
