We love to welcome people, whether you're looking for a church to worship in, would like to explore the Christian faith or are interested in getting married or having a child christened, or have recently lost a loved one.
Whoever you are, we hope you'll find what you are looking for on this site, so we can help you practically, spiritually or however we can! Feel free to e-mail or phone us - see our Contact page.

Memorial Service Sunday 25 October at 6.30pm

An opportunity to remember those who have died and light a candle in their memory. The service will include hymns, music and readings, and will last about an hour.

All are welcome, regardless of whether you normally worship with us. Just turn up.

You can find this information as a poster here.

Supporting us

DONATE

If you would like to donate to a particular fund, e.g. the Spire Project, or would like to learn about making a regular monthly contribution, please visit our Donations page.

The Spire Project
Our beautiful church building is still undergoing repair. The six bells have been re-installed following repair, the wooden tiles (shingles) on the spire are being replaced, and the clock needs refurbishment of the face, and major repair of the mechanism.

The total cost of the whole Spire Project is around £250,000, and only a small proportion of this has yet been received in grants. We are hoping that local people and business will be willing to make some significant donations to enable our Spire, bells and clock to be returned to their former glory.

For more information, and how you can donate to this appeal, please visit our WinSpire 2024 page.

Visiting the Church

The church is usually open for visiting and private prayer on weekdays and weekends (except during Sunday morning services), and you are welcome to light a candle as an act of prayer. This depends upon the availability of volunteers to open and lock it, but you can also phone or e-mail the office to arrange for the church to be open when you want to visit. (See contact page.)

Its Harvest Time!

The following article by John Toohey appears on the front page of the October 2026 Newsletter.

Food is always available on the shelves in nearby shops, and I wonder if we’ve lost touch with the amazing way food actually gets to our tables?

Give a small seed some light, water and a few minerals, it will suck in carbon from the air, and after a few months we have crops of food to harvest. Wow. And it’s ours to enjoy.

Then God said,
“I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth
and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food”.
(Genesis 1:28)

But this gift does come with responsibilities that we call 'stewardship'. We should ensure the earth flourishes, rather than suffers, under human hands.

The 2026 harvest is significantly lower and is on track to be one of the worst on record for the UK and parts of Europe due to severe drought and extreme heatwaves. We need to inform and educate ourselves to understand what changes we need to make to be better stewards and help ensure the harvest is as bountiful as God intended.
