35+ Years of Ministry

Rooted in Scripture,
open to everyone

Since 1991 our doors have been open on Church Lane. We gather to worship God, open the Bible together, and look after the neighbours around us, one ordinary Sunday at a time.

Growing a Generous Community

Generosity runs through everything we do, from our weekly food pantry to emergency relief after floods. Members gave more than 9,000 volunteer hours last year, and every hour reached a real family nearby or far away.

Each gift and each hour reaches a real family, close to home and far away.

Who we are —

Walking together through every season.

Church is more than bricks or a Sunday morning slot; it is the people who show up for each other.

Jesus' good news belongs to every person, so we keep our doors, tables, and homes open.
