Serving
One of core aims in our church vision is SERVE - We follow Jesus’ example. We give our time, our skills, and our resources, generously.
A great way to get connected in church and get to know other people is by serving on Sundays and/or during the week. We are one body and all have something give (check out this video from earlier in the year).
Below are the Sunday teams (other serving opportunities for midweek will be shared later in September). Some of these teams require training and further volunteer checks. Please fill in the sign up form to ‘express your interest’ and we will be in touch to let you know more and see how regularly you can serve. Thanks team Ebe.

Safeguarding
Thank you for expressing an interest in joining a team. You will see that some of the teams listed above involve children, young people, and vulnerable adults and as such, safeguarding procedures and training are required for volunteers serving in these areas. Safeguarding is the action the church takes to promote a safer culture to ensure that these vulnerable groups are kept safe and free from harm or abuse when in our care.
