Our community centre hosts numerous health and wellbeing activities including; dance & exercise classes, health services, childrens groups, scouts & guides and many more. See the Centre activities page for a full list of current groups
We hire halls and rooms to groups but do not hire for private parties, this keeps the centre as a place for social & wellbeing activities
The Gospel is central to all we do here at St Lukes, we live incarnationally, bringing God into every aspect of life, striving for a deeper understanding and knowing of God and it is a constant comfort in knowing we are never alone.
If you would like to join us for prayer, learn how to pray or come in for private prayer you are very welcome.
Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.
-Mark 1:35

We are an Anglican (Church of England) church and during our services we use symbols to help worshippers to engage their senses. This can include use of incense, bells, candles and singing responses. we enjoy a range of both contemporary and traditional hymns and music. We are exploring talents of singing and playing instruments as part of worship, encouraging lay pariticipation and exploration of faith and ministry from people of all ages.
We have a loop system to help support hearing aid users, we can also prepare large print service sheets - email us if you need assistance whilst in Church. The path to the Church is level and unrestricted for wheelchair users, there are washroom facilities for all in the centre which is just behind the Church. We continue to develop ways to include everyone without obstacle in church.
There are many opportunities throughout the week to come and visit the church for private prayer, we also have a short midweek service on Wednesdays followed by a coffee morning. Another chance to come and get to know us and let us welcome you to the church in this place.
