Beyond
Areas of ministry
As a church, we recognise the calling to reach, minister and get involved with the wider world, outside of our immediate location. With this aim in mind, we look to engage with and support various organisations in the UK and beyond. We also seek to increase people's understanding of how God is at work in these areas and to broaden people's outlook in how to join God in His mission to the world.
Below are some of the main areas in this section of our church ministry, with just some examples given of our links and interests:
