Enquiries
For all enquiries about church life, including baptisms, weddings and the hire of the church hall, contact Selina Lindsay, our Parish Administrator on 020 8467 0196 or parishchurch@btconnect.com.
The Parish Office is situated on Church Lane, Chislehurst and is open weekdays from 9am – 1pm (9am to 3pm Wednesday and Thursday). It is not open on Friday or during school holidays (messages left about baptisms and weddings will be dealt with once the office opens again).

Baptisms
For enquiries about Baptism please contact Selina Lindsay, our Parish Administrator, on 020 8467 0196 or parishchurch@btconnect.com.
Families will be invited to an All Age Worship service on a first Sunday of the month where we give thanks to God for a new birth. Preparation for Baptism then follows. Following preparation the Baptism will usually take place on the first or third Sudnay of the month at 3pm.  We have many Baptisms every year and would ask that you expect to wait a few months.

Weddings
You are welcome to marry in the Church of England whether or not you are christened and whether or not you go to church and we welcome you!  Thanks to a new law you have now got more choice about which church to marry in and it may be possible for you to be married in St Nicholas.  Please contact the Rector, Alan Mustoe who will be pleased to talk to you about your wedding... 02084674405 or 07949817540, alan.mustoe@akmustoe.co.uk   For more information about being married in the Church of England go to: www.yourchurchwedding.org

Funerals
The church is available for a funeral service. It would usually be followed by a short committal service at either a cemetery or a crematorium. A service in church allows people as much space as they want to express thanksgiving without the pressure of other bereaved families waiting their turn. If you would like to hold a funeral service in church, please speak to the funeral director you employ and they can arrange this with us. St. Nicholas clergy are also available to take the entire service at the crematorium or cemetery if you so wish.
Please bear in mind that the full-time clergy have Friday as their day off.

Christian faith
If you wish to talk to the Rector or Associate Rector about matters of faith, personal concerns or to ask them to pray for you, Carol at carol.kitchener@btconnect.com or leave your details with the parish administrator on 020 8467 0196 or at parishchurch@btconnect.com.
You may also wish to visit the website rejesus.org.uk. which has lots of material to help people explore the Christian faith for themselves.

Christian listeners
If you wish to talk to someone else in confidence, we have trained listeners who are available to listen to you. Contact the parish administrator on 020 8467 0196 or at parishchurch@btconnect.com and request a listener.
