We are a very welcoming church with a strong sense of community, so we have a Community Group meeting each week in the village as well as a monthly "Cup Cake Cafe" and Youth service. Our main focus is on loving God and loving each other.
Our main worship on Sunday morning is at 10.30am which varies in form each week. Our singing, which is led by a small music group and singers, includes both traditional hymns and songs as well as modern worship songs. On the 1st, and 3rd Sundays of each month there is an early service of Holy Communion at 8.45am.
Our style is very relaxed and our dress code is informal.
