What your organisation does

Our desire is to reach people outside of the Christian faith along with building up, encouraging and nurturing those who profess the faith. It is through the teaching of the Word of God, as contained in the Bible, and through the provision of pastoral care and support that we achieve this. We hold public worship services each Sunday morning, a

midweek worship service and a prayer meeting. These are followed often by refreshments which provides an opportunity for people to meet and get to know one another. All these meetings are open to all and are advertised on our Facebook page. We hold special public meetings from time to time for evangelical purposes. Occasionally we hold family and social events for the local community such as BBQs etc.
