About us
Our Mission
We are seeking to love and serve God and all the people of our villages, through providing opportunities to worship together, explore the Christian faith and care for those who are in need. We have agreed that support for children and their families is a priority and we enjoy close relationships with our local Church of England Primary schools.
Our Vision
We hold Jesus' teaching to love God and love our neighbour as central to our life together. We want our worship of God on Sundays to be joyful, engaging, inspiring and prayerful. As we go about our lives the other six days of the week we aspire to live lives that are connected and relevant to the people we live amongst at home, at work and in our villages, sharing God’s peace, kindness and hope. Our intention is to shape a church culture where everyone can be confident they will be welcome and safe to explore the Christian faith alongside others and contribute to our life together.
Our Values
As a newly formed group of churches (2024) we are getting to know one another and are in the process of forming a common identity. We wish to work together as below and as such, we will:
1. create a culture of encouragement where we are willing to try things.
2. be outward facing rather than inward looking.
3. serve others with humility and forgiveness.
4. be creative and have fun!
