Ashford Street Pastors are here to serve with love and purpose. Ashford Street Pastors needs you:
Every weekend, across the year, we walk Ashford’s streets to care, listen, and help those we meet. Throughout Friday nights the street pastor team operates a Safe Space welfare vehicle. The Safe Space is available to anyone who is feeling vulnerable and needing safety. Whether it’s a chat, a pair of flip-flops, or a quiet prayer we’re here to serve our community together.
🙏 15 years of faith in action — walking the streets, offering care, and being present.
