WHAT WE DO
It is very important for us to reach out to the local community with the message that Jesus brings, that he loves everyone, there is forgiveness and there is hope. We don't just reach out from a distance but live, work, socialise and be in the community around us. Our church isn't just on Military Road but wherever we are making a difference for God. Here are just a few of the projects we are involved in at the moment.
Community Larder
A stop gap, non-referral foodbank
every Friday at 10am to 12noon
If you are in need for food on a very short term basis while you wait for a payment, or a Foodbank delivery you are welcome to come along and see if we can help you.

Create Mental Health Art Group
Fridays at 1.30pm
A group for anyone with mental health issues who wish to express themselves creatively.We started this group for people who suffer poor mental health. It is run by volunteers who have had this experience in one way or another in the past and they would love to welcome you to their group every Friday. A very warm and safe welcome are waiting for you. There is no need to be creative but a willingness to be. The group is free and donations for hot drinks are welcome but not compulsory.
