Our church building is not a segregated ‘religious space', it is a place where God is honoured in so many different ways, and where people come together to celebrate life, friendship and our faith.
During a service it is a place of worship
During food events it is a place of fellowship
During other socials it is a place to foster friendships
Our church is more than the building, it exists where we gather together, whether online via zoom or over a pint in our local hostelry.
During the Covid Pandemic we discovered a whole new approach to worship and community by using the technology that is easy to access, this has changed our approach to church and given us new inspiration. We currently have two services a month in church, one a communion and one evening prayer; we also hold two services a month online. Our largest gathering is online and is a vital, energetic, loving and caring experience. We are currently exploring the technological issues of holding a hybrid service once a month where our online and in building community can come together.
Our church activity is not just worship based but very much about exploring all aspects of being human.
We've held art galleries, soup evenings, feasts, talks and much more.
Keep an eye for what we are up to and come and join us. If you want more information get in touch via the 'Get in touch' tab.
