About Us

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Temple Church occupies a central position in the High Street, St Mary Cray.  It has been in existence for over 150 years, serving a mixed Community from a wide range of social and environmental backgrounds.  The main Church building was badly damaged during the Second World War and a new Church was built in 1951.  The main hall (Moffat Hall, in memory of the missionary Robert Moffatt) was built in 1891, restored in 1950 and refurbished in 1994.  A booklet giving a brief history of The Temple Church is currently available.   The extensive premises are widely and heavily used by a range of groups from both inside and outside the Church fellowship.

The Temple is involved in the local ecumenical arrangements.  We belong to an organisation, “Churches Together in the Crays”, which includes Oak Community Church , St Mary’s CofE, St Barnabas CofE ( St Paul ’s Cray), St Joseph ’s RC, the Salvation Army, St Paul ’s URC, Kings Church , St Andrew’s and The Temple , sharing several ecumenical events during the year.
