Please ensure that we receive your comments by the end of Monday 14th June.

Baptism Classes
While national restrictions have limited what we can do in church life, God is not limited and can still be seen at work in His people. As a result, we have had some interest in baptism classes.
We currently have a class running and are looking to start a second class in the near future.
Therefore, if this is something that God has been prompting you to consider then please speak to Eddie, Rob or Dan for more information.
Attending classes does not mean you must proceed but will enable you to think through baptism further and consider whether you are ready to take this step of obedience at this time
Ark on the Farm Saturday 26th June 10.30am
