Style of Worship:

Our main Sunday service is at 9.15 am when we celebrate the Lord's Supper with a Sung Eucharist. Lay people, including our young people, take an active part in leading our worship. Both traditional hymns and modern worship songs are used in our praise of the living God. We share our lovely building and our witness to the local community with the local Methodist congregation. Our church is open for prayer and reflection on most days from 11.00 am to 12 noon.

 


 

The Church:

 

The building was consecrated in 1983, and provides seating for 160.  There is an adjacent Hall which can provide a further 60 seats for larger acts of worship if screens are opened between the two buildings. The flexible design incorporating moveable seating can provide a large venue for social occasions such as Concerts and Fayres.

 

The millennium window on the north side of the nave provides an attractive centre for reflection.

 

The building caters for special needs: wheelchair access, hearing aid loop and sound system, toilet for the disabled, nappy changing facilities.

 

It is well served by public transport, and there is parking for cars on-site and on-street
