Mission and Service

Our aim is to be a worshipping, serving, sacrificing community following the example of

Jesus Christ.

We aim to achieve a more inclusive fellowship where people of many different backgrounds, cultures and languages seek to live out the gospel of love and reconciliation by serving the local community, especially those living on the margins of society. It is encouraging to note that our current fellowship includes diverse communities from Africa, Asia and the Caribbean.

We believe in  an inclusive enviroment where people are treated  fairly and with respect.

Our recently formed Justice and Peace Group meets on a regular basis under the leadership of Rev’d Canon Kathryn Fitzsimons, Diocesan Urban Officer and Brother Kentigern Milmine SSF.

A large part of our mission and outreach is to care for the needs of asylum seekers and refugees. PAFRAS (Positive Action for Asylum Seekers and Refugees) has a drop-in at our community hall on Tuesday and Thursday mornings where they provide a hot meal and casework support for destitute asylum seekers. Visit their website at www.pafras.org.uk 

And through our registered charity, Supporting the Local Community at St Aidan’s, we provide English classes on Thursday mornings and IT classes on Friday afternoons.
