Our Church which has gained the Child Friendly Award for the Sunday Club,.
In 2010 we reordered the interior to provide a multi-use space at the rear whilst maintaining the seating for approximately 200 worshippers. This latest reordering is mentioned in the article at the page link shown on the sidebar (Church History). This space has proved very useful during the church year, being used for after church coffee and for PCC meetings.
In 2016 we completed our brand new Church hall.
The new hall is available for hire for more details click the page link on the Church Hall
The new church hall is used by Brownies, taekwondo http://www.dragonmartialartsuk.com
