At All Saints we are a church seeking to be Loving, Inclusive, Flourishing, Exploring (LIFE)
Loving
Share the love of Jesus with one another and the wider community, and demonstrating this love through caring for others and the amazing world God has created
Inclusive
Welcome all people by making the church facilities (church building, The Cornerstone, the churchyard) and its worship and activities accessible to all, regardless of age, ethnicity, ability, sexuality and social background
Flourishing
Enable people to grow in the Christian faith, improve their wellbeing, develop their relationships and become the people God intended them to be
Exploring
A place to explore Christian faith and spirituality, growing in understanding and the love of God, encountering God through the arts and the creative gifts of one another.
Our priorities are:
- Increase the diversity of worship that we offer through a variety of music and services
- Support those seeking to discover more about the Christian faith and wanting to grow in their understanding and love of God
- Improve the welcome we offer to people coming to church and provide greater accessibility to our worship and church activities
- Help everyone grow as followers of Jesus Christ, developing our provision for families, children and youth
- Reach out to the community with the love of Jesus, making the best use of our church buildings and facilities, The Cornerstone and the churchyard

Jesus put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed in his field; it is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.” Matthew ch 13 v31-2
Could you help All Saints grow like the mustard tree ?
In 2024 our income was £201,000. Core expenditure (the red bar in the chart) was also £201,000. We balanced the books thanks to the generosity of people who gave to the church including several one off donations. But we cannot do that every year. We need our income to come in much more steadily through the year.
In 2025 our approx income was £207,000 and expenditure £210,000. We have cut back our spending where we can but we also want to be a church that continues to grow and reach out to the community with the love of God.
Regular giving, including the gift aid that comes with it, is the majority of our total income. It is absolutely fundamental to what we can plan to do as a church. If you feel able to offer a regular gift please click here
