Mission Statement
God is calling us to be his active and visible presence, serving him and our neighbour, and spreading his word wherever we are.
Growing together in Christ through prayer and common worship, in awareness of an ever-changing society, we are called to commit our time and talents to expand his kingdom and share his love by reaching out actively to our community.
Prayer of the Month
Lord of all life and power, who through the mighty resurrection of your Son overcame the old order
Of sin and death to make all things new in him: grant that we, being dead to sin and alive to you in Jesus Christ, may reign with him in glory; to whom with you and the Holy Spirit be praise and Honour, glory and might, now and in all eternity.
