All are welcome to any/all of our services. You don’t need to have been to church before or know when to stand or sit. When we have hymns you are welcome to join in or simply listen. We don’t force you to sing. We have also stopped inviting people to stand or sit but leave the decision up to what you are most comfortable doing. You can sit (or stand) through the whole service if that is what you would like to do. We are informal in our worship style so if you wanted to ask why we are doing something in the service then feel free to ask

We believe in inclusive church – a church which celebrates and affirms every person and does not discriminate.
We will continue to challenge the church where it continues to discriminate against people on grounds of disability, economic power, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, learning disability, mental health, neurodiversity, or sexuality.
We believe in a Church which welcomes and serves all people in the name of Jesus Christ; which is scripturally faithful; which seeks to proclaim the Gospel afresh for each generation; and which, in the power of the Holy Spirit, allows all people to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Jesus Christ.
