Who we are
St Barnabas is a diverse Anglican Church and we love welcoming newcomers and helping them to feel at home. Each week we celebrate God’s amazing welcome as we share in communion and so it’s natural for us to want to share that welcome to others. So why not join us at any of our regular weekly meeting times – you’ll find friendship and a community to share the journey of faith with.
Vision
What is a vision but an overarching desire – a hope and an aspiration to do and to grow into the future. At St Barnabas our vision is very much centred on following our Lord Jesus Christ – finding out about him, being inspired by him and learning about human life through him. Our vision also calls us to put into practice all that we learn about in Jesus – that is to extend God’s love as he did to people in all kinds of need. And so our vision is simple but deeply challenging and motivating:
‘Following Jesus and extending God’s love.’
