Church groups and events
Getting together is at the heart of our church
Whether it’s on Sunday at our main service or at our groups during the week we like to get together. There are gatherings for the very young to the more mature in years, hospitality and also events like Thinking Lunch, which highlight social justice issues. Take a look at some of the various groups and events we offer below…
