Giving
Every gift stays close to home
Two thirds of what is given funds the food bank, the night shelter and the debt advice centre. The rest keeps the lights on.
Questions
The ones people ask us
I am not religious. Is that a problem?
Not in the least. A good number of people here would say the same thing, some of them for years. You are welcome to come, listen and make your own mind up in your own time.
Will I be asked for money?
No. The offering is taken during the service and visitors are asked, genuinely, not to give to it. Giving is for people who have decided this is their church.
Is the building accessible?
Step-free from the Mill Lane entrance, a hearing loop throughout, and an accessible toilet by the hall. Large-print orders of service are on the table as you come in.
What happens to my children?
They stay with you for the first twenty minutes, then go out to groups by school year. Every leader is DBS-checked. Under-3s can go straight to the creche.
