We range in age from almost young to fairly mature! We meet almost every Monday evening where the serious business of the church is prayerfully considered over a slab of the best cake we can muster!

We have, over the years, increased the number of elders, and the church having agreed that our members should be able to serve our fellowship regardless of gender,  we have appointed women to this role !
