Who we are

We are a diverse, inclusive and open-minded worshipping community welcoming all who wish to join in our traditional style of Methodist worship - a chance to sit quietly for an hour on a Sunday morning, soaking up the music and words and reflecting on life and its challenges today.

 

All are welcome to take bread and wine (which is non-alcoholic) as part of our Holy Communion once a month, and from time to time we offer 5-week series of Bible studies during the week in order to explore growing together in the Christian faith.

​

The hardworking volunteers in our core Church team are detailed below; if you wish to get in touch, please visit our contact page. Alternatively full contact details are available in our Church Diary, copies of which are available in the church vestibule.
