02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

We hold Sunday morning services when we gather to worship God and to learn from the Bible. We hold fellowship meetings via Zoom with other churches. Children's Ministries continue by joining the congregation on a Sunday morning before leaving to join their own groups for worship and activities. There is also a Church football club run jointly with the Baptist Church. The Church is also used for concerts and other Guild activities and Community events. The Church Guild hold monthly meetings from September until April when we invite various speakers. The building is used for Funerals, Weddings and Christenings. The building is open to the public during weekdays from May to September.
