Get Involved

Our churches are places where everyone can use the gifts God has given them, in fact that’s exactly how the church is supposed to be.

There are many ways that people can serve in our churches, from singing, to helping at toddler group, making coffee to helping lead services. Take a look below to learn more .

Helping with services

Our services are led by our priests, but they can’t do it alone, and so members of our church family help out on Sunday mornings. This can mean putting things in the right place, helping to give out communion, or by leading prayers. Speak to the vicar to find out more

Children’s Leadership

‘we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord’ Psalm 78:4.

One of our key priorities to help the next generation of the church to take their rightful place.  We need our children’s groups and activities to be led by adults who love God, want children to have fun, and who are committed to safeguarding. '
