Our vision is for
-
A church which encourages and sustains each member and friend through their hopes, dreams, desires, problems, uncertainties and needs.
-
A church where everyone is important and respected because Christ loves each one of us as unique individuals with our own views and characteristics.
-
A church where our love for one another is evident in our prayers, our care, our hospitality and our conversation, wherever we are.
-
A church which welcomes all ages, races and abilities and where no group is marginalised.
A church where pastoral care is the responsibility of all members as well as the Minister.
