Throughout 2024, the Church has continued to advance the Christian faith among its own members, among the wider congregation, among people who live around us but who don't normally attend church, and overseas.  The work has all been done in accordance with Baptist principles, meaning that particular stress has been placed upon individual conversion, baptism, church membership, and the Lord's Supper. 

This has been by means of services of worship, held every Sunday morning of the year, Sunday evening prayer meetings, Wednesday evening services of worship or prayer meetings (on almost every Wednesday of the year), online broadcasts of services, a weekday club for children during term-time, and a teenage meeting on most Sunday evenings. 

During school term-times for the whole of 2024 there was a mid-week café which was open to anyone but was specifically intended for local people to drop in and enjoy a light lunch, conversation with church members and a short presentation of the gospel. 

follow Baptist principles. 

At the beginning of the year the church employed the services of an assistant pastor for a twoyear programme in order to help with the delivery of the above-mentioned objective of advancing the Christian faith and also to provide him with experience of church leadership.  The church has received a grant and certain gifts towards the cost of his employment.
