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

May the God of all hope
fill you with all joy and peace in believing,
so that you may abound in hope
by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 15:13 N.R.S.V.
