Our Mission Statement is :-
To love and worship God and spread the good news of Jesus Christ through our worship, community concern and action.
Along with all churches in the Diocese we are committed to growth in discipleship, service and numbers.

Therefore we pray for:-

  • Our growth as disciples of Jesus Christ
  • Our growth in service to God and our neighbours
  • Our growth in the number of people worshipping God and learning to be Christ’s disciples

This is the mission to which we believe God is calling our parish and Diocese.
