Welcome to St John the Evangelist, Bexley
“The Bishop of Rochester is pleased to announce that The Reverend Gary Best is to be appointed the next Vicar of St Mary’s, Shortlands in the Beckenham Deanery.”
Gary’s final services at St John’s will be on 31 March. We will mark Gary’s departure in typical St John’s style with Cake and ‘Buck’s Fizz’ in the hall after the 10am service. Come along and bring some cake to share if you can.
Gary will be collated into his new post on Saturday 27 April at 6pm and we are all welcome to attend - details to follow.
Many people are familiar with St John's from the outside as a landmark in Bexley Village; the pretty church on the edge of Golden Acre Park. I hope that this website will give you a little insight into St John's on the inside: the people, worship, prayer, work and friendships that make up the life of a church.
St John's has served the community here for over 130 years and we still aim to be a sacred and spiritual space in the heart of Bexley, open to all. We are also now working closely with our neighbouring church St Mary the Virgin in the Bexley Team Ministry.
