Community
Kimpton church’s mission is to make Christ known in Kimpton.
Kimpton is recognised as a supportive and sociable community and the church of St. Peter and St. Paul aims to be at the centre of it. We make our buildings available for village events. Plus, the people of God in this place are often to be found initiating and supporting social outreach in partnership with Kimpton groups and societies. Scroll down for more….
Loaves and Fishes
The church supports a monthly lunch for the elderly which aims to bring those who may not have much social contact together to enjoy each other’s company. The lunch is hosted by the Boot pub in Kimpton. To find out more contact Andy Morton on 07884064268 or mortonandrew798@gmail.com

Primary School
The church has always tried to ensure there are close ties with the village primary school. The vicar is invited to take assemblies and Year 6 students are given a bible before they leave for secondary school. Visit to church are part of the RE curriculum. School children are also active members of our church.
