Across the year we run a few courses such as Alpha Youth, Parenting for faith or our Lent course.
There are a number of activities which happen once a year such as our Messy Crib service or a Christmas Crib service, Christmas Experience, Easter Experience, Christingle or our outside Carol service.
In schools we do assemblies and Open the Book visits – get in touch with us if you would like us to visit your school. We also offer visits to our churches and many schools visit for carol concerts or special assemblies.
