An older than average population struggles with isolation and health concerns; younger families are disproportionately less affluent - several wards in the town (those adjoining the church) are some of the most deprived in the county; young people, including a sizeable student population lack resources and opportunity and positive mentoring.
A changing ethnic and cultural landscape calls us to peacemaking and community building. With these needs cast in ever more sharp relief by the COVID-19 pandemic, we are called as Jesus followers to help our community towards emotional, material and spiritual health.
The Haven Project dovetails seamlessly with the rest of the church’s vision and life, and is an accessible gateway for those who experience this good news to begin the journey of discipleship. We are a dynamic, healthy church community characterised by a warm welcome, engaging worship, and a full and varied programme of discipleship, special interest and fellowship groups. We believe that The Haven Project will build credibility and trust with the community by serving them well.
