Who and where we are

Who are we?

We are a friendly, welcoming church rooted in the Catholic tradition of the Church of England, committed to dignified worship, good music and orthodox teaching. You are most welcome to join us at any of our services.

What do we believe?

We believe in the mystery of the Holy Trinity - one God in Three Persons - the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We believe in God the Father - the author of all creation.

We believe that Jesus Christ is God's only Son and that belief in Him is the only way to salvation. He was born in Bethlehem, He died for our sins on the cross, He was raised from the dead and will return in glory to judge heaven and earth.

We believe in the Holy Spirit who gives life to His people.

We also believe that the Church of England is part of the Universal Church (along with other Christian denominations) and we subscribe to the ancient texts and traditions as handed down to us by earlier generations.
