Throughout the year thousands and thousands of people walk through our church doors.

Sometimes they wander in for a bit of peace and quiet prayer.
Sometimes they come wanting to find help or advice.
Sometimes they come in to celebrate the birth of a child and ask for God’s blessing.
Sometimes they come to grieve the death of a loved one.
Sometimes they come in to witness the love of two people being joined together in marriage.
Sometimes they come in to worship God.
Sometimes they come in to meet their friends.
Sometimes they come in to share ideas and build in hope.
Sometimes they come in because of the cake!

Many people walk through our doors and we delight in our doors being open for all. We welcome everyone and think of our church as not just being about the building but being about family, having a purpose which is fuelled by faith, hope and love, and inspired by Jesus Christ who is our rock, our friend and our leader.

It is very important to us as a church family that everyone feels safe and supported. If you would like to see our Diocesan policy it can be found on the diocesan website in the safeguarding section at http://tinyurl.com/y2npwln3
