Parish link.
Wekense Parish is linked with the Parish of South Gillingham in the Diocese of Rochester UK. In 2019, South Gillingham funded eleven new windows for the church and are supporting the building of a new house for the pastor - see pictures below. 

Community development.

Wekense is one of thirteen parishes in the Diocese taking part in the Church and Community Mobilization Programme (CCMP). The CCMP is a Bible-based, guided training approach that a local church can use with its community to identify the resources they have, then, working together, bring about long-lasting, whole-life change. As local communities work through the process, they decide which activities will bring about the most effective and positive outcomes for them given their current situations. 


These pictures show the progress of the new Pastor's house under construction, supported by South Gillingham.
