Mission

Local Mission

As Christians, we are called to care for our neighbours, whether they are strangers or friends.

Our mission focus

At the Church Meeting on Sunday July 16th 2023 we agreed to focus our local mission on treasuring God’s creation through our environmental and eco awareness approach, bringing this more clearly into our local community.

We support our local community  in various ways.

  • Providing a safe space in the Hub for the people of Beacon Hill to have a coffee, chat and rest. Whitmore Vale Housing Association have a closed door session each week too.
  • A community book collection for local people to borrow books for free. People are invited to sit and read or take a book away when The Hub is open, bringing it back to swap for another.
  • Donating to Haslemere Foodbank,
  • Supporting Parents with our URChins Club (Mother and Toddler group)
  • Provide community space for people to seek a wholeness in health and wellbeing.
  • Offering a very reasonably priced venue for local people to hire.

The URChins Club

URChins toddler group runs in the Osborne Hall and welcomes all parents and carers with under-fives on Friday mornings during term times 9-11.00 am. We ask £1 per family which includes child- friendly snacks and a hot drink for adults. A variety of table and floor toys are on offer and a take home craft to make is available for all!  You are welcome to stay for the whole or as little of the session you wish. Please just turn up or contact Bridget 01428 606236 for further information.
