In the charity's own words
The Church has held regular meetings for worship, prayer, teaching and evangelism, and works closely with other local churches and newfrontiers. It provides support to the YESU project, and is now renovating a centrally based building to provide a meeting place for the Church and for community use. In anticipation of this exiting new season, the Church has renamed itself as LIFE CHURCH.
