The Advent letter from Chris about our church and faith.

Pathfinders meet each week (either via Zoom or in a small group when there is no lockdown) - We share thoughts and try to explore the gospel for today.


We have a fun but thoughtful Junior church for the children in term time which is led by our wonderful volunteers. For teenagers we also have pathfinders which makes the Gospel relevant to their life.

Our church has many historic features and you are welcome to explore and reflect as you visit our church. Why not visit our historic website to learn more.
