We aim to show the love of Christ to all we meet both individually and as a church. We therefore have a desire that all should come to know and have a personal relationship with the lord Jesus. We support both the local community within Seer Green and its environs and also the world wide church through the support of various missionary organisations and specific individual missionaries.
