We are a happy group of people who enjoy coming together to worship God, be part of a wider family in our community, and support and encourage each other in our faith - and we are all at different stages on our journey of faith.
We have a small, enthusiastic choir which sings at our services. More people join the choir for our annual Christmas Carol Service and other special events, when more challenging music is practised and sung.
We always have refreshments after our services - Judy's home made biscuits are wonderful!
You will receive a warm welcome in every way - not least because our heating system works well; and the people are great.
