Everyday faith

We want to support you as you seek to find and follow God in your everyday life. We gather on Sundays but most of us spend most of our time at work, at home, pursuing our hobbies and with our friends or family. On this page there is a short video where a number of different people explain how they live out their faith in their daily life. There's also a box with information about our local midweek groups and other activities in support of our Church and the wider village community.
