As a Church …  Our purpose is to enable all people to respond to the invitation to follow Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour.  We aim to reach out and share God’s love and grace in our local community, serving people of all ages.  Through prayer, worship and Bible-based learning together, we seek to be Christ-centred people, led by God’s Spirit, committed to growth and equipped for mission and service. Our offertories will be taken during the welcome time (prior to first song). If you are a visitor please do not feel obliged to give, simply pass the gift bag to the next person.
