139 years on Derby Road
New here?
You'll find some who've come for years — and some, like you, for the first time.
We are glad to welcome you to our church, which has been in this location for 139 years. We want this to be a place where people of all nations and backgrounds can meet with God through Jesus Christ. If you come to one of our services, on Sundays at 11am and 6.00pm, you will find some who have been coming regularly for many years and others who, like you, are visiting for the first time. Children are especially welcome on Sunday mornings, when we run a creche, Sunday school and Bible class.
