We believe that serving is a central part of chruch life.
Through serving we: build and deepen relationships, join God in the good things that he is doing, and begin to follow the way of Jesus (who came not to be served, but to serve). In church life, there is lots of opportunities to serve, many of which are listed here. So have a read, and contact the office about which ones you might like to join.
