In the Community

As a church we are committed to serving the community around us. Our call is to show kindness, to support the disadvantaged, to demonstrate the love of God in generous serving and unconditional mercy.

This isn't an add-on to church life; it's integral! That's why our home groups meet in a variety of locations around the city. That's why our youth and children's meetings are open to all (it also explains why we provide free bus services to encourage chhildren to come to the Kidz Klub and adults to come to Sunday meetings). That's why so much effort and finance is poured into our programme under the Urban Impact banner.

For several years, we have established a Family Festival (at first in Carden Park, latterly at Greenleas Park in Hangleton) with entertainment for all the family: bouncy castles and sideshows, craft, face-painting, music, speciality acts such as Tough Talk, free food and lots more. This gave opportunity for church members to make a contribution to their local communities with such projects as garden maintenance, paining or building work, rubbish clearance, teaparties for the elderly and so on.  All of these activities were linked to Urban Impact Projects.
