About Us

In response to God's acceptance, love and forgiveness, we journey together from our many different starting points seeking to make known what God has done in Jesus and to share the love of God with the wider community.

We are enriched by the experience and understanding brought into our lives by the diversity of people who worship here.

As a community we seek to foster a close relationship with God in order to grow more like Jesus and to live out our faith in relevant ways through our attitudes, life and actions.

Striving for honesty, forgiveness and acceptance, we seek to nurture and affirm each other's gifts and find creative expression for them as the Spirit leads.

Please take the opportunity to share your journey, ideas and concerns with the pastors and others you meet in the congregation.
