In the charity's own words
Our responsibility as a church is to build and nurture a Christian community, serve those outside the community in a variety of different ways, and provide a forum for those who do not know God to explore the possibility of a relationship with him. We support and encourage those with a faith to deepen their relationship with God, and to increase their positive contribution to society.
