What the charity does

The church aims to introduce people to the love of God shown through Jesus Christ and to demonstrate that love in practical acts of kindness. We hold regular Sunday worship services and run midweek bible studies, a toddler group, youth groups, and outreach events; all these events are open to all. We also support charitable organisations which seek to advance the Christian faith and relieve need.
