Our church <\/strong>is a mixture of people who have in common a desire to follow Jesus in the 21st century and their love and respect for one another.<\/p>

We are experimenting with different ways of doing church which include impromptu activities.<\/p>

The church building is a busy place. In addition to our Sunday service, we have a dementia social group, a friendship group, a Mainly Music Group for pre-schoolers, English Conversation Groups, home study and support groups, and Friday night games evening with a shared meal. We also have an Indian congregation.<\/p>

The church is used by several community groups and a Korean Church. This website acts as a guide to the various church activities.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
