We focus on following Jesus, loving one another and sharing God’s love with the wider community.

We are a community where every person can play their part and bring their own unique contribution. It’s not a church where the leader does everything – instead, we encourage everyone to participate in ways they feel they can, wherever they are on their journey. We are all part of the team!
