Other Activities & Ministries
Connect Groups
Our Connect Groups meet on different days throughout the week and are a great way to build genuine friendships and grow in faith. In these groups we study the Bible, pray together, and share life with one another; some groups even enjoy meals together. They’re a relaxed and welcoming space to belong, whatever stage of faith you’re at.

Hope into Action (HIA)
We partner with Hope into Action, a charity that supports vulnerable people by helping to provide housing and community. As part of this partnership, we run a friendship and support group, offering connection, encouragement, and practical care.

24/7 Peru
One of our church families has moved to Peru to establish 24/7 Peru. We continue to support and work alongside them as they serve their community and demonstrate God’s love in practical and life-giving ways.

We’re involved in many other activities too, so feel free to pop in or explore our website to find out more about life at our church.
