Who we are

Our basic values are

The centrality of Christ and the cross of Christ.
The renewing and empowering work of the Holy Spirit.
The inspiration and authority of the Bible.
Consequently we aim to have lively and relevant worship, with Christ at the centre, the Holy Spirit empowering and with the teaching of the Bible at its base. If you visit us you will find the atmosphere is friendly and informal. Children are welcome to come and participate. We have a creche and Sunday school for pre-school and primary age children.
In the worship you will find mostly modern music, although some traditional hymns and choruses are used. Our aim is to express praise and worship to Jesus in an environment which will be inspiring to the Christian without being threatening to anyone “testing the waters”
