We hope to be a place that people can come to be nurtured in spirit and soul
A village church belongs to everyone! It is our hope that you may find something that helps you in your life journey - a quiet place to sit and be still; a place to join in the life of the village community; somewhere to grow spiritually; a place where someone listens to your heart and a place to celebrate.
WE have a wonderful generous, loving God - bidden or unbidden he is always here for us

We are a Christian community based in a wonderful building and trying to live for God in our village.
We come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and do various things but at our heart we are folk who find that Jesus Christ makes a difference to our lives. We get together at different times through the week for worship, growing in the Christian faith, serving the community and just for fun.
Our main Sunday worship is at 10 am
There is always something for all ages. Most Sundays our young people have their own particular events but we always get together at some point. We also meet in small groups at various times in the week to discover more about living as a Christian today.
We are involved in the community in many ways from our local school to nursing homes. Weddings and baptisms are also an important part of the life of this church.
