Our vision is to build disciples who represent Jesus to everyone, everywhere with everything

To help us focus in on building these disciples, our theme for 2023 is 

This theme will see us spending more time investing into the body of Christ; and in order to do all this, we need YOU, as we cannot build our church without the people.

 

So how can you get involved?

Would you pray and consider how you might invest into our church’s vision and theme, serve as a valued volunteer, and play an important role in our pathway from Refreshed to Revival?

What role can you play in 2023 to see our next generation discipled? In what way can you serve to help others find belonging, hope and purpose? Please see below for some of our most urgent volunteer needs for the year ahead.

Parents, particularly first time mothers or fathers, can receive support for the challenges parenthood brings, and also connect with other families and resources in the community.

We are looking for volunteers to help lead playgroup once a week
