The building on Grove Road is a centre for worship, prayer, and Christian teaching and learning for all ages, races and cultures.
We are well known in the locality and also further afield.
A whole variety of community activities have found their home in the building over the years however we are seeking to base our activities not only in the building but also in and with the community.
Our vision continues to develop.
The church growing involves co-operating where it is helpful with other churches and projects.
We see mission as holistic and evangelism as the long-term making of disciples.
We are constantly encouraging our church fellowship to be involved with our local communities, work-mates and colleagues.
Wherever possible we bring our Christian distinctive and contribution.
