We Are

A welcoming, user friendly Church, enthusiastic about God, our faith and other people. The Congregation is a mix of people from many traditions and backgrounds. We have an open and innovative approach to being Church and are eager to meet the needs of a diverse congregation, which has a wide age range and an interesting mix of people, including many young families.

We believe that we are ready for continued growth and that we are open to change. We hope that we are aware of the dangers of complacency

We Offer

Lively spirit led worship, with a talented Music Team, and a flexible approach to our services. We are very committed to Every Member Ministry and encourage people to get involved in every part of Church life.

We celebrate Open Communion and welcome unchurched families to bring their children for Baptism during morning Worship. We try to make this an important and significant event. We also celebrate Believers Baptism

Youth Work: We have a Church Youth Group who play a key role in our evening services.

Children’s work: a talented group of volunteers lead an interesting programme during Sunday Morning Worship. We want to serve our children in the same way we serve the rest of the congregation.

We have a soundproofed crèche, staffed by volunteers. Parents can choose to leave their children or to stay with them. There is an audio feed to enable parents to listen to the service. Thanks to a recent Baby Boom, we are outgrowing the crèche.

We want to

• discover and exercise our Spiritual Gifts in order to grow in faith and in service others

• be culturally relevant so that we can actively reach out and welcome those who do not yet know God
