There is always lots going on at St Barnabas. Some of these things arrive on our website. Others don’t make it. But we believe there is a space for you here. The best way to find out more is to contact us or to turn up one Sunday. Most Sundays we meet at 9am and 10:30am. On the 4th Sunday of the month we meet combined at 10:30am and share food afterwards.
As a church we have rhythms throughout the year around times like Christmas, Easter, Lent, Pentecost and Advent. Each month we have rhythms of gathering for those who are looking to connect and walk with people. There are also things we do to serve the local community that you might like to help with. Each week we have groups who meet for encouragement. Come along or contact us and find out where there might be a space for you.
Find out about visiting us here. We are really welcoming as a church and would love to help you connect and feel at home.
Hope Explored is an informal and relaxed three week course at St.Barnabas about the person and work of Jesus, and the hope that can be found in him.
Each session explores an aspect of Jesus’ work: his life, his death and his resurrection.
Each session also explores one of the great longings we have in life: for HOPE, for PEACE and for PURPOSE.

In life we find ourselves where we find ourselves. Sometimes we arrive there because of our decisions. Some decisions are good and some are bad. But deep inside of us all there is this little niggle “there has to be more”. God’s plan for all of us is not only that we would know redemption, but we would also be agents of redemption. Christmas reminds us that this desire we have inside for more finds its answer in the invitation of God. Join us as we find refreshment in the good news of Jesus this Christmas
