We combine the traditional, the new, and have a congregation of all ages. Our church buildings are the focus of worship and activity.
Church work extends across the parish be it in pastoral care, outreach to young and old, delivering services in homes, or simply enjoying each other’s company.
We have services each Sunday and Wednesday and one of the traditions we enjoy is the provision of choral music at many services. The church itself is in the centre of the parish and welcomes all.

Our Community
Our parish has close ties with Trinity St. Peter’s primary school. We have clubs for children, scouts, guides and brownies, and a thriving Mother’s Union which reaches out in friendship to many people, men and women.
When you come to one of our services for the first time please feel free to introduce yourself to a sidesperson because would love to meet you!
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
Prayer of St Francis
