What We Believe

aaron-burden-ia0Zxx sDr8-unspl

God calls us to be an inclusive Church. The generous and visible people of Jesus Christ; a church which is caring and supportive, allowing everyone to explore their beliefs and express their faith in Jesus Christ.

All are welcome whatever their age, economic power, gender, mental health, physical ability, race or sexuality.

God asks us to reflect his nature in our behaviour and relationships: We are to love and serve one another, working for justice and peace across the world.

With God’s help and guidance, we are to build God’s kingdom believing that every person matters and can make a difference.

The scriptures reveal God’s nature and presence in the world. We are to grow in faith by studying the scriptures and sharing our faith journey with one other.

Worship and prayer build a closer relationship with God and a deeper understanding of his presence. Prayer and worship also draw us together as a community.

We are called to be imaginative and creative in sharing God’s love with others and this calling belongs to everyone in the household of faith.

The Holy Spirit is active in each Christian life and in the world. We are learning to recognise that Spirit and listen for God’s voice.

We follow a God of second chances. When we go wrong or make poor choices God forgives us and helps us to begin again. We are called to reflect this same spirit in our relationships with others.

Planning your Visit

A Very Warm Hello! 

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

We meet at each church at least one Sunday in the month. Please see each church on the 'Our Churches' page for details of when the service are. For your first visit, we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to ensure you get a parking space and find somewhere to sit before the service begins. When you arrive, you will be greeted by someone who will give you the service booklet and hymn book, they can also answer any questions you may have. Please do let them know if you have mobility challenges and will need communion brought to you.

We serve tea, coffee and biscuits after the service. This is a great way to meet our welcoming church members, or simply take time to find your bearings. All refreshments are free.

Our Service

The main service begins with notices about the benefice. Then follows a time of worship with hymns, prayers, scripture readings, a sermon based on scripture and the Eucharist (Holy Communion).

What about my children?

Each church has a children's area with toys and books for the children to play with, we ask that a grown up is with them at all times. Children are also very welcome to be with grown ups in the congregation where they can see and hear everything that is happening.

Getting Connected


Small Groups

While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of one of our small groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We have a variety of groups that meet throughout the week/month, some afternoons and some evenings. Check out Small Groups and see if there’s one that you could join, or we can put you in touch with a small group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.

Serving and Volunteering

If you want to get involved in the life of the church and help us make Sundays run smoothly, you can sign up to serve on a team please contact our Administrator who will put you in touch with the relevant people.
