visitors are free to help themselves.

are encouraged to spread the Christian Gospel, in word and deed.
Members of the congregation parttctpate in a programme of street pre3ching and Gospel tracts are
provided free of charge by the Charity to such preachers to be handed out to interested members of

community, for whom both their family and the wider communty are expected to care.
Holy Scripture commands us to be good neighbours to others, and deal wth all other
people (including former Brethren) openly, honesly and fairly and consistent with these
principles. we should give our time, talents and money to assist those in need in the wider
