We are a friendly welcoming church. Our desire is to help you meet with God and to provide a framework and atmosphere that will enable that, no matter what background you come from. Being a community is important to us and we try to be relevant to your needs. Our worship style encompasses lively modern songs with more traditional hymns. Our commitment is to making Jesus known. We have a strong children's work led by a team of dedicated volunteers, with regular Messy Church events and well as junior church provision in Sunday services. We are actively involved in our local community, sharing the love of Jesus.
We're a place where your questions are welcome, and your perspectives matter. Whether you're new to faith, a lifelong believer, or somewhere in between, we hope you will fit right in. We believe that faith should feel relevant, not outdated or stuffy. That's why we're all about creating a community that feels fresh, open, and inclusive. We're more than a Sunday service. We're a community that supports you, where you can make meaningful connections and friendships. We're about putting faith into action, whether through community service, personal growth, or just being a supportive friend.
Our talks and topics aren't all hot air and theoretical - we try to make them relevant and applied to your life, seven days a week. We make best use of technology - with big screens, live streaming of services and an active social media presence.
We're committed to being a welcoming community for everyone, regardless of your background, orientation, or beliefs. We are committed to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion. We believe that all people are uniquely made in the image of God, and we aim:
- to live this out in the Church and in our community;
- to celebrate the rich diversity of people within the Methodist Church;
- to ensure that everyone can be full participants in the life of the Church.
Whether you're searching for a sense of purpose, looking to deepen your faith, or just want to connect with like-minded people, we'd love for you to be part of our community. Drop by for a service, watch our Youtube live-stream, or reach out to us by email or Facebook—we're here for you.
