About Us
We are a lively evangelical parish with a wide variety of worship styles. There are activites for all ages on Sunday and throughout the week. We are part of the Church of England in the Diocese of Derby and are members of the Evangelical Alliance and NewWine networks.
We very much see ourselves as part of the local community and have many activities throughout the week based in our Church Centre, including a cafe which is open 5 days a week. We also go out into the community and and members of the church are involved in many ministries including Street Pastors, Food Banks, Baby Basics, Schools work and the local residential homes.
Our Vision
To be a church of disciples making disciples who reach out in the love of Jesus to see lives transformed by him.
Our Values
Welcome
God’s welcome is stunning. He welcomes us to come as we are; he is the loving Father who runs to the prodigal with a warm embrace. We want to welcome people as he welcomes us. (Luke 15.20)
Worship
Worship is the most important thing we do in life - it is our primary purpose. Worship goes far beyond our Sunday gatherings - it’s a lifestyle where we show our passion for Jesus by loving him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. (Mark 12.30)
Belong
We have been created for relationship and therefore do not have to go the journey of discipleship alone. Jesus instigated the church to be first and foremost a family where people can find belonging, encouragement, and support. (1 Corinthians 12.27)
Grow
God welcomes us as we are but doesn’t leave us unchanged. His purpose for our lives is less about what we do and more about the person we become. Through the gift of the Spirit we are empowered to become more like Jesus. (2 Corinthians 3.18)
Go!
Jesus gives his disciples a mission to go and make more disciples. As we embrace God’s love for people, live out Spirit-led, gospel centred lives that share and care, we will see his kingdom advance. (Matthew 28.19, Mark 12.31)
