As a church we seek to support each other based on our Christian commitment and values, offering practical assistance / sign posting to non-members living in our neighbourhood, irrespective of faith, cultural background, ethnic origin or life choices. Sharing peoples joys and sorrows is a wonderful privilege as it mirrors the love of Jesus for all those whom He met.
