Our Mission
To know, love, worship and serve God. Making Jesus known to our communities in everything we are and everything we do.You
You are welcome at any of our churches, for services, for events. You are invited to be part of our church family.Us
We are churches who come together regular to worship God at our services and to learn more about Him. We love to serve our community and to be a blessing to those around us.Him
God is at the centre of all we are and all we do. He is the reason we are a family together.Our Beliefs
We believe in the historic faith of the Church of England. In simple terms that means we would adhere to the Bible as God's word to us, the truth of the ancient creeds helping to set out what we believe, the Articles of Religion which help set out our faith within the Anglican Church and expressing our worship together using the Book of Common Prayer and Common Worship, the liturgy of the Church of England.
If that all makes sense to you and is something that you believe too, then welcome. If part of that makes sense but you have some questions, then welcome. If none of that makes sense but you'd like to know more come and ask!
Loving God. Loving People.
