We are part of God's family, where anyone and everyone is made welcome, and we are all equipped to live our lives for Jesus with a shared sense of unity and purpose.Three dimensional relationship

In response to God’s calling, we are aiming to work out our identity through the quality of our relationships with God, with each other, and with our community. Believing that these interconnected relationships are vital to our church life and growth, we are looking to grow and develop them by embracing ten specific aspirations that are at their core.

Being welcoming

We aspire to ensure that everyone feels welcome, whether this is their first visit, or they have been coming for years, so that genuine relationships can develop in partnership with Christ.


Being inclusive

We aspire to be inclusive, so that everyone regardless of age or background knows that they are a significant part of our church.


Making a difference in and beyond our local community – being salt

We aspire to encourage each other to be the person of Christ to anyone we meet and to equip Christians, both locally and globally, to express their faith in practical, life-changing ways


Sharing our faith effectively – being light

We aspire to be visible in our community by having services and activities that are attractive and welcoming to people of all ages in our locality.


Good pastoral care

We aspire to share in people’s triumphs, joys and victories, to support each other in pain, loss and anxiety, and to be a safe place where Jesus meets us at our point of need and empowers us to walk in newness of life.


Engaging worship

We aspire to have worship that is honouring to God - inclusive, accessible, varied, visual, audible and participatory, taking place in small groups and on Sundays.


Relevant biblical teaching

We aspire to have biblical teaching which offers practical guidance for everyday life, showing the way and unlocking the truth through the Holy Spirit, so that people are secure in God's holy word.


Using our gifts

We aspire to encourage each other to discover and use our gifts, be they great or small, in ways that show God's love in action.


Putting our faith into practice

We aspire to help members of the church body and the wider community to follow and serve Jesus in their daily lives.


Praying

We aspire to underpin everything we do with prayer – encouraging everyone to pray regularly individually, in small groups and together as a church family.

Planning your Visit

A 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 the Church Building (details here) for our Sunday Service starting at 10am. 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 should be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team who will be wearing a Welcome lanyard.

We serve tea, coffee and biscuits from 10am, before the service begins. It is a great way to meet people, or simply take time to find your bearings. All refreshments are free.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access, and a sound loop for anyone who needs it. Please let one of the Welcome Team know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up. There are disabled toilets in the main foyer.

Our Service

The main service begins at 10am with a warm welcome from one of our team members. We share news and notices, usually about what’s going on in the life of the church. Following this is a time of sung and spoken worship. We typically have 2 or 3 songs lasting approximately 20 minutes. Often a person will pray out loud or read a small passage from the bible. Sometimes people share things that they believe God is saying to the whole church family. One of our leaders will then give a sermon that is bible based and that we can apply to our everyday life. We then finish with a final worship song. There is an opportunity to receive prayer at the end of the service.

What about my kids?

We have a great programme lined up for kids of all ages:

  • Creche (0 months to 3 years). Children under 6 months are welcome but must be accompanied by their parent/grown-up at all times.
  • BRBK (4-11 years)

Children stay with their parent or grown-up at the start of the service for the welcome, songs and notices. We really value worshipping God all together as a family. Part way through the service, the leader will announce that it’s time for the younger members to go to their various groups.

The kids group activities vary depending on the age but usually there is a friendly welcome, bible stories, testimonies, praying, music, craft, drama, fun games and free play. Please pick your children up as soon as the service finishes.

Getting Connected


House 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, some afternoons and some evenings. Check out House 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.
