Eco Church 

 

eco church.width-1200As Christians, we believe that the world is God's gift to us, and that we are called to care for it wisely and faithfully. We seek to live lightly on the earth, acting responsibly towards the fragile planet we all share.

In 2023, all three churches in our parish were awarded Bronze Eco Church status through the A Rocha UK Eco Church programme. We are delighted by this achievement, but we recognise that there is still much more to do.

Eco Church encourages churches to care for creation in practical and sustainable ways across five key areas:

  • Worship and Teaching
  • Buildings
  • Land and Nature
  • Lifestyle
  • Community and Global Engagement


We are now working towards achieving Silver Eco Church awards and continuing to reduce our environmental impact while encouraging one another to care for God's creation.


Could You Help?

We would love to hear from anyone who shares our passion for caring for the environment. Whether you have practical skills, ideas, enthusiasm, or simply want to learn more, there is a place for you in this work.

If you would like to get involved, please contact Rev'd Mike.


A Prayer for Creation

Lord of life and giver of hope,
we pledge ourselves to care for creation,
to live sustainably,
to work to reduce our dependence on carbon-based fuels,
to explore the possibilities of renewable energy,
and to value the rich diversity of life.
May your wisdom guide us,
that life in all its forms may flourish,
and that we may be faithful in voicing creation's praise.

Amen.

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.
