And aim to:

• Provide opportunities for Christian worship, prayer, meditation and education;
• Provide a spiritual and prayerful space for everyone;
• Provide a warm welcome for both local people and visitors;
• Meet the needs of both local people and visitors, within the Christian ethos;
• Maintain dialogue with other Christians, and people and groups with other spiritualities.
