Jesus said, ‘I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except by me'.
We are a group of believers who wish to grow in the love and knowledge of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. Our Sunday services include prayer, hymns and songs of worship, monthly Holy Communion, talks, and readings from God's word, the Bible.
We also have a more informal ‘something different' Sunday once a month (please see the service listing). We hold seasonal fayres and musical concerts, which are well supported by the local community, and enable us to support a number of local and national charities.
Whether you are a believer or you are searching for faith, you will be made most welcome.
