We are a medium sized modern Parish Church of about 100 adults and children of all ages, which seeks to be welcoming to both the fit and the frail. About half of our membership attends the weekly main service on Sundays at 10am. This is a modern language service using both recent worship songs and traditional hymns. Our liturgy is neither "high" nor "low" as we seek to be inclusive of all traditions, and include some members from denominations other than the Church of England.

On Wednesday at 9.30am, 1st & 3rd Sundays at 8am, and the 2nd Sunday at 6.30pm there is a traditional language Communion Service. There is a traditional language service of Evensong on the 4th Sunday in the month at 6.30pm.

Our purpose as a church is "Together, changing lives for good!" expressed in four ways:
1)To continue our personal growth as disciples, and communicate faith through friendship;
2) To engage in effective action that is targeted on spiritual and practical need, both locally and globally;
3) To encourage awareness of forgiveness and life abundant in Christ offered to individuals and families;
4) To build partnerships with other churches and agencies working for the good of our community.

Being built relatively recently, our church building is comfortable and well equipped.

The Church was one of the first in the world to register an Alpha Course, which we continue to offer on a regular basis. We are orthodox in teaching and members of the Evangelical Alliance.
