‘Whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant and whoever wants to be first must serve you – just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve.’ (Matthew 20: 26-27)
We believe the Church has a responsibility to serve the community and we attempt to fulfil that role with our presence and the activities we provide through the building.
