About Us
Growing in Worship
We believe in the incarnate, crucified, resurrected and ascended Son of God. The whole Bible points to Jesus, and He is the centre point of human history.

Romans 2:12

We outreach in different ways; for example through small groups, friendships, Alpha courses and outreach events. On the last Sunday of each month we run our Cafe Church service, where we preach the gospel in a meeting aimed at non-Christians.

Romans 1:16
