About Us
Inspired by the Anabaptist tradition, our core values are peacemaking, creativity and justice. Our gatherings are inter-generational, relaxed and multi-voiced. In 2018, Alexandra Ellish was appointed as the minister, with a mandate to revitalise and replant the church, exploring new approaches to mission and ministry. Numbers are slowly growing after a period of decline, we celebrated our 150th anniversary in 2023, and the building was renovated during 2025 with a new community kitchen to make it more hospitable for the three congregations and other community groups that use it. Further works are planned.
