About Us

We are an Evangelical Bible-believing baptist church. We are a member of the Evangelical Alliance and subscribe to its Basis of Faith. We meet each Sunday at 10:45am and 6:30pm to worship God together and to hear from His word, the Bible. All are welcome whether you are a Christian or not! We aim to worship in a lively, balanced and Biblical way, and you will find a mix of modern songs and well-loved traditional hymns. A speaker brings God's word to us each week through systematic Biblical exposition. We share communion together twice a month and welcome all who know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour to take communion with us, regardless of denominational background. We also have regular all-age worship services led by a team from the church. A loop system is installed for hearing-aid users on the inner banks of pews. We now have a ramp allowing wheelchair access through the main entrance and inside the church there are spaces for wheelchair users to sit with family and friends. Running alongside the morning service we have a staffed crèche, which allows parents to leave their children and return to the church for the rest of the service. We also have supervised activities for young people up to the age of 14, which include crèche plus for preschool children, Club Sunday for those from reception upwards and a Bible Class for teenagers. Visitors are very welcome to join these or stay with their parents throughout the service. The church is led by the pastor and a team of up to nine deacons.
