Sunday Worship is an important part of the Parish week and where everyone finds a warm welcome. It is a time where we take a break from busy lives and pause to spend time in the company of God and fellow disciples of Christ. During our services we use the book of Common Prayer, the Church Hymnal and other resources. At these services we are all age focussed and love to welcome all.

We love gathering around the Bible for deeper conversation and to grow in God’s word. Bible Study meets year round with a small break during the summer. Bible Study is great for all levels of bible knowledge and understanding. We aim to deepen our joy and love for the bible whilst enjoying fellowship and company with one another. If you would like to participate or gain further information on Bible Study, please contact Rev. Simon.
