There is now no legal requirement to wear a face covering to services. However in consideration for the safety of others, our stewards will wear face coverings and we ask you to wear one when entering, exiting and moving around the building, until in your seat for the service. Please feel free to keep your face covering on if you prefer. We will continue to use well-spaced seating around our large well ventilated chapel. If you have any concerns our door stewards will be happy to assist you.
Deaf or hard of hearing? Many of our sermons are now live streamed in British Sign Language. More Details >>
Our Mission Focus
The Apostle Paul sought a door of opportunity for the Gospel to open, when writing to the church at Colossae: he wrote “pray for us”.
Christ taught His disciples: ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into His harvest.'” In Romans 10:14-15: Paul says “But how are they to call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in Him of whom they have never heard?”
We are supporting 10 missions in prayer (and some financially). We urge you to pray regularly for them. We list below who they are:
