Mission

Making a difference for Christ’s sake

We aim to continue the work of Christ by encouraging and supporting people in our area and the wider world, to discover their potential with God, each other and creation.

Eco Church

Caring for God’s earth
From recycling, to buying Fair Trade products, to twinning toilets in Uganda, to planting flowers, to ensuring our buildings are energy efficient, to swapping single use plastics, and to beach cleans, our churches are doing lots to care for God’s earth.

Both Cannington & Westfield have been awarded Bronze & now Silver Eco Church by A Rocha UK. Both communities are working hard to achieve the Gold award. Please see our Eco Champions to find out what you can do to help care for God’s earth.
