In response to God’s amazing love we want to be a people who serve and care for other people.
We do this by raising money for charities that support people, volunteering to help local and national charities and offering love and support to those in need in our communities whenever we can.
Here are a few of the ways church members and our church school are putting their faith into action for others
- Leading the street pastors programme
- Collecting for the foodbanks and womens refuge
- Supporting Beson and the One Team
- Helping at local charity shop
- Organising events and collections for Christian Aid
- Developing a chaplaincy for the deaf
- Serving on the local council and organising food parcels
- Offering a ministry for supporting married couples
