In the charity's own words

As a church, we hold regular Sunday services and meet during the week for prayer and Bible study. We are deeply committed to serving our city and the wider Lancaster district, sharing God's love by supporting vulnerable people and those in need. We do this through our Celebrate Recovery programme and Bay Volunteers project, among other activities, and work very closely with the Adullam Programme.
