Churches
Rochford Community Church was founded in 1987 and meets at The Freight House near the railway station. Its vision is to be a 'Church at the heart of the Community' and its purpose is 'to love and serve God, one another and the community'. Volunteers from Rochford Community Church operate a retail shop in the center of the town (number one at 1 West Street) selling children's books, toys, gifts and cards. Funded by the profit from the shop, the Church runs a range of community groups to benefit the people of the town.
St Andrew's Church, Rochford is located near the Rochford Hundred Golf Club and is part of Rochford Deanery, within the Bradwell Area of the Diocese of Chelmsford of the Church of England.
Rochford Methodist Church is in North Street, Rochford, near the White Horse pub. The Methodists have been in Rochford since 1822, meeting in a building where Market Alley turns into the Square. In 1841, they moved to a new building in North Street near Weir Pond Road, and in 1880 they moved to their current premises. The link to the church website is shown below.
