Our ambition is to persuade people of the huge benefits of following Jesus Christ. We are the church for those who don't go to church: we visit the homes in our neighbourhood week, a street a week, offering friendship. We also offer language class, mums and toddler group and youth group. Our core members also meet to hear the Bible read and explained, and to pray.
