ALL PROGRAMS:
The work of the church aims to provide help and support to every person, regardless of religion, sex, colour, ethnicity and intends to offer help that deals with the individual's social, physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual needs. We are however part of the Christian Church and as such hold to the Christian message and beliefs. This does not in any way affect our dealing with those of different religious and spiritual opinion and we believe in a policy of respect for all people and their beliefs.
