God is love.  As followers of Christ we aim to spread that love around.

We understand God as the great creative power behind the whole universe, and Jesus Christ as the living expression of God’s love, who came to reveal God to the world.

We believe that we can get closer to God through prayer,  through the Bible,
by singing the great treasury of Christian hymns and songs, by responding to sermons, by seeking forgiveness for what we have got wrong, by participating in Holy Communion, by feeling strengthened by worship on a Sunday and simply by  being together as followers of Jesus.

We are an inclusive church, so everyone is welcome, regardless of your background, your family, your age, your sexuality or gender, your past experience or your present situation. We offer baptism to people of all ages, and we are licensed for the conduct of weddings, including the marriage of same-sex couples.

Women and men are equal in opportunities available to them, including ordained ministry: we are proud of the fact that the first ordination in our tradition of a woman minister was as far back as 1917.

Strengthened by a sense of God’s love, we see our task as Christians as going out to serve God and other people according to the requirements of Jesus, and in encouraging others to follow Jesus, too.  We find contentment by loving and serving Jesus Christ, the Son of God, whom we can know as Lord and Saviour and Friend.
