ARK Christian Fellowship

Evangelical
Congregation: 80 adults (20 under 18)

We are a friendly medium sized independent fellowship of people from many different backgrounds, ages and cultures united in our common faith and personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

Sound Christian teaching is at the heart of our vision. Through our links with other Churches and ministries locally, nationally and abroad, we also receive regular visits from recognised Christian leaders. In addition, we have a well stocked bookstall of sound Christian literature.

Our worship is a mixture of traditional hymns and newer worship songs.

We welcome families, couples and single people from all backgrounds and races. We hope that you will be blessed as you fellowship with us. The experience of all who have joined us is that they have found a warm and friendly atmosphere and experienced the love and presence of the living God.
