New Sunday Service Times: Embracing a Brighter Start 

Exciting changes are coming to our Sunday worship! From August, our church services will be held 30 minutes earlier, now at 9:00 AM and 10:30 AM. This adjustment is part of a wider refresh of our parish worship pattern, designed to create a more welcoming and accessible experience for all, alongside being more sustainable.

By beginning earlier, we offer a more relaxed and spacious morning, allowing families and individuals to enjoy the rest of the day without feeling rushed. The change also supports greater fellowship opportunities after the service, enabling deeper connections within our church community.

Additionally, these new service times align with other commitments later in the day, making it easier to fully engage in worship while maintaining a balanced Sunday routine. Our volunteers and clergy will also benefit from a smoother flow of responsibilities, ensuring an even more enriching experience for everyone.

If there is no service at your usual church or if other commitments prevent you from attending at the new times, we warmly invite you to explore the other services within the parish. You are always welcome at any of our churches, where you will find the same spirit of worship, community, and fellowship.

We invite you to embrace these updates with us, knowing they are made with our community’s best interests at heart.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello 

A warm welcome to our parish!

We have lots going on, with many different ways to get involved with church life. If you’re new, come to one of our services where you can meet a few friendly faces and find out more about us.

You may also choose to sign up for our weekly email newsletter, (see here), which provides useful information about what’s going on as well as church family news. But don’t worry, we won’t spam your inbox! 

Finding a new church can be hard, and we want to help any way we can. If you are looking for a new church home, we thought you’d want to know what we are all about.

We believe God’s mission for us is to be “Sharing, Caring, Growing in Christ.” And how doing that we grow in LOVE toward God and neighbour.

Mission
In Christ


Even though it is at the end of our mission statement, the words “In Christ” encapsulates the starting point as our lives as Christians. Everything begins with our relationship with God, in Christ, as we grow, care, and share, loving our God by loving our neighbour.


Growing


We believe your journey of faith is one of constant growth. We learn more about God and our faith as we study God’s truth given to us in the Bible. God loves us too much to be done developing us into the disciples He wants us to be, and so we continue to seek to grow in what it means to be His followers.


Caring


A Christian life is one of caring for each other. We share the love and joy we receive from God by caring for them. Jesus first showed that care for us by his death on the cross and the forgiveness he delivers. We, then, get to live that our in our lives by caring and serving our neighbours.


Sharing


What an opportunity God gives us, to share the good news of what Jesus has done for us. Now, more than ever, this world needs to hear the message of a God who loves them, who died for them, who hears their prayers, and who promises to be with them always. As His disciples, we get to be the ones to share that message of hope, love, and peace. 
 

Getting Connected


Small Groups

While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of one of our small groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We have a variety of groups that meet throughout the month, some afternoons and some evenings. We can put you in touch with a small group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.

Serving and Volunteering

If you want to get involved in the life of the church and help us make Sundays run smoothly, you can sign up to serve on a team.
