We are part of a group of six parishes, called The Bridges Group as we are all linked by canal bridges.
As part of the Bridges Group we are committed to strengthen our communities through effective evangelism, nurturing Christian disciples, deepening fellowship and serving the village communities in which we live. In recognition of the need to equip believers for ministry, lay involvement in all aspects of ministry is growing and seen as a priority for the future. We long to see a core group of deeply committed Christian disciples in each village who are able to share their faith effectively, to lead worship, to feed and nurture others and to live out the love of Christ in their daily lives.
Our commitment to worship -
•through a variety that includes Book of Common Prayer, Common Worship, all-age and family worship, both clergy and lay-led
•with music that is equally varied, from traditional to contemporary
Our commitment to growing as disciples -
•especially through a network of home groups that have mostly grown out of Alpha courses
