New to our churches?


New Here? We’re Excited to Meet You!

Rev Rich says
"I am not your ordinary Priest.  I grew up in a single parent, low income household with next to no Christian input.  There was no one further from God than me, but it was love which brought me to where I am now.  i was living a great life, had everything I could ever want, but something wasn't right.  

I never knew who I was.

During my twenties, in some of my darkest moments was when God broke into my life, and it was because of the welcome I received in my local church, I stayed until it was time for me to be called to serve the people in the Forge Group area.

When I walked into church, I had three young children, and I was scared.  Scared of what people might say, scared they wouldn't sit properly, scared I wouldn't know what to say or people would judge me because of my clothing choices... none of that was true, and none of it is true in the churches I have oversight of.

We want everyone to feel welcome in our church, if you are new or unsure, if you have any special requirements or needs, if you want to sit alone, or want someone to sit with you, then please talk to our welcome team who are on hand to guide and assist you.

Do not be afraid, you are welcome here."
