What the charity exists to do

Objectives and aims The Congregation's purpose, first and always, is the worship of Almighty God and the advancement of the mission of the Christian Church. The objectives of the vestry are to advance the mission of the Christian Church, through worship, service and fellowship. These objectives are carried out through mission and pastoral activities. The principal activities of the Church are public worship and the spiritual development of its members. Significant activities The church offers family Eucharist services every two weeks. There are a number of internal organisations of the church which meet regularly. Some members of the vestry are involved in pastoral support.
