We are Christians of all ages at different stages in our journeys of faith. We are committed to gathering together to worship God, seeking to grow together in our relationship with God and one another and to outreach into our community to demonstrate God's love in action.

OUR SUNDAY SERVICES ARE: -

9.00AM HOLY COMMUNION (BCP).  

10.30AM HOLY COMMUNION AND JUNIOR CHURCH.  

During the winter months we have been joined by the congregation of St. Luke's.

If you would like to have someone mentioned in our Prayers of Intercession, please enter details in our Contact page and submit to us.

We serve coffee after the 10.30am Sunday service, to which all are welcome. You can be assured of a warm welcome at any of our services.

We also hold Holy Communion every Thursday morning at 10.30am, which is especially valuable for those unable to join us in our Sunday worship.

On the first Wednesday of the month, at 7.00pm, we hold a reflective Taize Worship, which is taken from a religious community in Northern France. The words of the music are repetitive, providing a peaceful and uplifting experience.

We seek to offer worship that enables a wide variety of individuals to encounter the reality of God, both through contemporary and more traditional forms and also offer a variety of opportunities to learn more about the Christian faith, by encouraging individual Bible Study and prayer and by promoting small groups.

If you would like to have someone mentioned in our Prayers of Intercession in our Thursday or Sunday services, please enter details in our Contact page and submit to us.
