Welcome to the online home of the United Church Cade Road, we are a Methodist and United Reformed Church operating in the South Ashford area of Ashford, Kent.
All of us have been to church for the first time, but we understand that for some people going to church can be difficult, please do feel free to join us for a service to see what worship is about and maybe stay for refreshments afterwards. We look forward to meeting you.
