We want everyone to be able to join us for our Church services - online or in person. We have several arrangements in place to make this possible. Outlined below are some accessibility details for our church building and our services. Feel free to get in touch with us if you have any specific needs or concerns – we would be very happy to try and resolve any issues to ease your visit, and to make you feel more welcome and included on our church family!
Parking and building access
Parking and building access
Parking is present at the rear of the church buildings, prioritising folks with limited mobility - please turn down Church Drive alongside the church to find our small car park. Limited parking is available directly outside church (available for one car - blue badge required Mon-Sat), but note this is a busy road.

From the car park, there is step-free access into the church hall, and via a ramp (zig-zag type with handrail) into the ‘back door’ of church, as used by many to access church.

Our church main entrance from the street has a wide ramp access with handrail, although please note this is steep for hand-propelled wheel chairs. Our church and main hall can readily accommodate wheel chairs, mobility scooters etc. and our welcome team will be onhand at the main entrance to help and guide you.

Most of our chairs in church have arms. We are always shuffling the chairs around – and are only too pleased to give you a bit more room, as needed.
