We would be delighted if you would join us. Whether you are wanting to take your first steps into Christianity, are someone who has been part of the Christian community for many years, or you are just wanting time to be nearer to god, prayer and contemplation. Families and children are an important part of our congregations and we welcome all ages to join us. We also offer Baptism, Wedding and Funeral Services.

The care and protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults involved in church activities is the responsibility of everyone who participates in the life of the church.
The Parochial Church Council has adopted the Church of England’s policy – Promoting a Safer Church. We are committed to providing good care for young people and vulnerable adults within the church community and have agreed the safeguarding policy and guidance agreed by the House of Bishops.
Our Commitments are: To promote a safe environment and culture; to recruit safely and support those with responsibility for children and vulnerable adults; to respond promptly to every safeguarding concern and allegation; to care pastorally for victims of abuse and others affected: to care pastorally for those who are the subject of concerns or allegations; and to respond to any that may pose a present risk.
If you are concerned that someone you know about may be suffering harm please contact Joan Bell our Parish Safeguarding officer.
