Welcome

We offer a special welcome to those who go to church each week, haven’t been since their last school carol service or have never set foot in the building before

​

We extend an equally warm welcome to people who are single, married, separated, divorced, straight or LGBTQI+

​

We welcome you whether you are looking for some alone time or seeking some companionship

​

We welcome you rich, poor or somewhere in between, fresh out of prison or living in one of those fancy houses nearby

​

We welcome you whether you can belt out all the hymns by heart or just want to sit quietly at the back

​

We welcome those whose bodies don’t work as they want them to, those who are battling with illness and those who ran 10k before they rocked up to church

​

We welcome crying babies, tantruming toddlers, exhausted mums, frazzled dads, worn out carers, stroppy teenagers and adoring grandparents

​

We welcome square pegs in round holes, those who don’t feel understood, those who don’t fit in, and those who were last to be chosen for the team

​

We welcome you if you are having a bad day, feeling low at the moment, or at the end of your tether

​

We welcome those who are grieving and those who are celebrating

​

We welcome you if you are not a huge fan of religion, wondering what you believe or whether you believe at all

​

We don’t mind if you knit, fidget or pop to the loo halfway through a service. We welcome people of any age, with any need and we support and welcome all children and adults who find it hard to be still or quiet

​

We want to break down the barriers you may feel at church. We are on a journey of faith, seeking to experience God’s love and then to share it and...

​

we welcome you as you are​​
