Welcome to our A Church Near You pages. We're currently constructing a dedicated website for the church so for now there will be information on both platforms with links back and forth.
You are welcome to join us for worship. We usually have worship in the Benefice on Sundays at 9.30am & 11.00am and on Wednesdays we worship alongside our Methodist brothers and sisters. Please check below for the venue and service type.
