WE are PROUDLY INCLUSIVE

“We believe in inclusive church – a church which celebrates and affirms every person and does not discriminate.

We will continue to challenge the church where it continues to discriminate against people on grounds of disability, economic power, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, learning disability, mental health, neurodiversity, or sexuality.

We believe in a Church which welcomes and serves all people in the name of Jesus Christ; which is scripturally faithful; which seeks to proclaim the Gospel afresh for each generation; and which, in the power of the Holy Spirit, allows all people to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Jesus Christ.”

Our Mission

To Reflect God's love in and with the community

By the way we welcome people, by the openness and warmth of our relationships, and by the sharing of our time and our resources.

Be open to the Holy Spirit working through us and our community

In our worship, in our prayer, and by the example of ordinary people living out their faith in and with the community.

Be faithful to the Gospel

In the fellowship we offer, in our relationships with other organizations and churches, in the daily lives or our members, in the teaching we share and in our openness to the whole community.

Help people to grow in faith and in prayer

By providing different ways for people to learn more, by offering opportunities for individuals to develop their knowledge of and trust in Jesus, and by encouraging regular commitment to prayer.

Be there for everyone at all stages of life

Through our teaching for children and young people, our support for families, our care for elderly people, our healing for those who suffer, and our fellowship for those who are seeking.
