We want to become a community which celebrates our wonderful diversity of age, background, ethnicity, language and culture.

(Psalm 139:8-13; Matthew 5:43-48; 1 Corinthians 12:12)

Embracing those on the margins

We want to become a community which actively seeks opportunities to connect with, welcome and bless those in our area who face social deprivation, exclusion and other forms of marginalisation. We aim to spend time listening to and learning from the most vulnerable and marginalised.
