The church building is used throughout each week not just for regular Sunday Services but for Youth and Children's groups and activities along with a very successful parent and toddlers groups (3 days each week). All age groups and cultures are welcome in our services and we also provide and run events/activities for adults including a Men's social group 3 afternoons a week and a Sewing group for retired ladies.
