Join us for Worship on

Sunday Mornings at 9.30am

Worship our Lord with Hymns, Prayer, Readings and Fellowship.
Why not stay for a cuppa and a chat in Fish Hall? You will find us a friendly bunch!
We are one large family and we aim to make visitors and strangers feel welcome.

We are blessed with:

 Music group leads the singing of worship songs
Pimp my life encourages teenagers to put Jesus in the centre of their lives
Teenagers meet on Wednesday evenings to have some serious discussions about "Life" and "Faith". We combine the serious stuff with a lot of fun.

On Friday Nights we socialise with a swim in the pools, a Mattress race, Disco, PS2 night or just hang out with jamming on our guitars

Women's groups play an important roll in the church through groups like Womens Fellowship and Missionary Guild.

 

The ladies arrange monthly meetings, regular outings, and fundraisers.

They also have a lot of fun together.
