More about us...

We are a congregation with open doors where all God's children are welcomed and encouraged to explore the meaning of faith and spirituality in their lives. It does not matter whether you are 100% convinced of your beliefs; if you are struggling with questions about religion and moral values in our society; if you are a seeker or if you are simply looking for a church home where you can worship and serve; there is a place for you in our church community.

Just ask an usher!
