We seek to be an open, inclusive, contemplative and welcoming church for people of all ages and backgrounds.

The church building is open every day as a quiet place for prayer and reflection.

On Sundays we meet at 9.30am for our main time of worship as we celebrate God's presence in word and sacrament, in silence and in song.  And through the week there are a range of home groups and more informal gatherings for prayer, worship and fellowship, including a regular meditation group.

Whether this is your first visit, or you have been coming here for many years, you are very welcome in this place.
