About St Nicholas
Who we are
We are an Anglican evangelical church situated in the centre of Sevenoaks. We have four main congregations which make up our one church family, comprising people of many ages and backgrounds who wish to follow the Lord Jesus Christ.
What we believe:
The focus of the Christian faith is the Lord Jesus Christ. Through Jesus God reveals himself to us. Through Jesus’ death on the cross in our place, God makes a way for us to be forgiven for all the things that separate us from him. Through Jesus’ resurrection and the pouring out of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, God graciously gives us the power to live a life pleasing to him.
Everything we need to know about God the Father, Son and Spirit is found in the Bible. We believe that the Bible is living and active and the final authority in matters of faith.
We are committed to the historic teaching of the Church of England, which can be found in the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion. These historic statements form part of our spiritual foundation and give us stability amidst all the changes we experience in our world.
The Good News of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Each Sunday we seek to explain and proclaim the good news of the Lord Jesus Christ. A succinct summary of the message at the heart of the Christian faith can be found in a short presentation Two Ways to Live.
The PCC of this parish has passed a resolution under the House of Bishop’s Declaration on the Ministry of Bishops and Priests in order to reflect its convictions on the distinctive ministry of men and women.
Where we came from
There has been a church on our site for at least 900 years. For all that period, we have been seeking to serve our town in many ways, but chiefly by proclaiming the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and living for Him.

Where we're going
Our vision is that every generation would
know Jesus and make him known, locally and globally
To achieve this we are focussed on four main tasks:
REACH
Reaching out to God’s world with the good news about Jesus Christ
NURTURE
Nurturing one another with the word of Christ so that we are conformed to the image of Christ
EQUIP
Equipping God’s people with all they need to serve Christ in the world
SEND
Sending out God’s people into God’s world to serve Him
How you can get involved
Please join us at one of our Sunday gatherings. You’ll find people at all different stages of life, from the very young to the very old, with everything in between. There will be some simply wanting to encounter Jesus for the first time, others who’ve been following Christ for many decades and some who have just started. There are regular opportunities to find out more about the heart of the Christian faith.
