I think the use of the term 'eccles' itself suggests people rather than simply a building held holy by Britons. How would the germanics otherwise know of this non germanic term?

Bede states that Britons who were willing to pay tribute, in Northumbria at least, stayed.

"AT this time, Ethelfrid, a most worthy king, and ambitious of glory, governed the kingdom of the Northumbrians ... For he conquered more territories from the Britons, either making them tributary, or driving the inhabitants clean out, ..."

It's not unreasonable to think that the Jutes of Kent had a similarly pragmatic attitude to british Christians.
