People often come to church when life is most difficult and the Christian life can be hard.

Understanding

We understand that life is complex and often painful. Family break down, illness, bereavement, and unemployment are everyday struggles for many in our church family. We do not pretend to have all the answers; we cannot claim that our lives are sorted, nor are we professional counsellors.

Support

However, we have discovered God’s grace to us as messed up people. He gives comfort, forgiveness and power to change through Jesus. We therefore welcome those who are experiencing difficulties and will seek to provide support and prayer as Christ teaches.

Contact

If you would like to speak to someone about any issues facing you, or if you would like us to pray for you, do come to one of our services and ask, or get in touch. All we ask is that you are honest and open to change where needed.
