OUR DEACONS
Welcome to our church family! We are a warm, welcoming community where everyone is valued and supported.
Throughout the week, we come together for a variety of activities that bring us closer as a community. Whether it's getting creative at our craft group, enjoying a meal and fellowship at our Luncheon Club, or diving deep into Scripture during Bible study and prayer meetings. You'll find our calendar of event's on the Home page.
Every Sunday morning, we gather to worship God in spirit and truth, lifting our voices in praise and hearing from His Word. In addition to our regular Sunday services, once a month, we offer special services like Messy Church, where families can experience the joy of worship in a hands-on and interactive way, and Taizé, a peaceful, meditative service for those seeking a quiet space to reflect and pray.
