Who is St Alphege?
Alphege is our patron saint, the holy person to whom the church is dedicated. He was an Anglo-Saxon bishop, made Archbishop of Canterbury in 1006. When captured by Danish forces, Alphege refused to allow the poor of England to pay his ransom and died at the hands of soldiers. He is a martyr and inspiration for the work of reconciliation and social justice.
What to expect at St Alphege
We strive to give our best to God in worship, through our liturgy, teaching and music. St Alphege uses the rich traditions of the Christian faith alongside elements of modern worship, offering services to suit all ages. The worship at St Alphege is centred around the Eucharist where we offer our worship to God, and bring to God the needs of the community and the wider world. Sunday is the high point of our worship, where we seek to encounter the transforming love of God and the presence of Jesus in the Bible, in the bread and wine of the Eucharist, and in each other.
Weekdays at St Alphege
Come and reflect in this ancient and holy space. Light a candle, say a prayer, or just rest in God’s presence. You will be made very welcome by one of our guides, who volunteer their time to keep St Alphege church open for the whole community.
