02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

Our core values are based around word, prayer, fellowship, and witnessing. Word relates to teaching Christian truths and values from the bible to help our members grow in faith and wisdom while also introducing new visitors to Christian beliefs. This takes place via weekly services that take place on a Sunday morning and evening. We have further weekly meetings and occasional events throughout the year that also seek to achieve this aim. Prayer takes place during our services and is the main focus of a midweek meeting when we come together to pray for personal, local and international matters. Personal and small group prayer is also encouraged. Fellowship relates to the support we give to one another and also to the community, through friendship and practical support. Finally witnessing takes place through community events where we seek to get to know our community and make them aware of the services we offer.
