Other Features
We aspire to be a welcoming church that truly values everyone. We seek to be a blessing to our communities through compassionate service, practical support and advocacy against poverty, injustice and discrimination. We believe that considered faith in God is key to flourishing as individuals and in relationship with each other and creation.
St. Giles obtained a bronze Ecochurch award in June 2024. All the churches in our group have either bronze or silver awards and we are now working collaboratively towards a gold award.
