2 Corinthians chapter 5 verse 17:
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;
the old has gone, the new has come!"
We aim to have Jesus at the heart of everything we do, not only in church as we worship, but in our daily lives, work places, schools and homes.
The Church Lads’ and Church Girls’ Brigade (CLCGB), often referred to as ‘The Brigade’, is the Anglican Churches own uniformed youth organisation: welcoming children and young people of all faiths and none.

We are blessed to have a thriving Junior Church with committed leaders.
With 120 children on our membership, there is a serious commitment to teaching the faith to a next generation of believers.
All children who attend our Junior must be registered with us.
The Registration Form can be downloaded here.
Parents of children who attend our Junior Church must be worshipping members of the church. Our policy is to encourage the building of 'family faith' rather than being a service provider of child care on a Sunday morning!
