​
​Our aim
Our aim is that whether you are just looking into Christianity for the first time or have been a Christian for many years that you should be encouraged and inspired by your worship, which we hope will draw you closer to God. As Christians we believe that all can have relationship with God and that this relationship with God is possible because of Jesus (God's only son) who invites us to follow him. If you are interested in exploring the Christian faith then please come along on a Sunday - or look at other pages on this website.
St Michael's vision

​With God's help we seek to
  • Worship joyfully and spiritually.
  • Share the knowledge and love of God with each other and in the wider community.
  • Encourage a sense of belonging to an all age Christian fellowship.
  • Welcome people to a peaceful and versatile church.
​St. John's vision
​
We aspire to be a vibrant, vital and relevant Christian presence, reflecting and welcoming the whole community.
​The church also has a toilet, kitchen facilities and space for small group meetings or Retreats.
The Lichfield Diocesan Aims
Developing Discipleship In what ways does it develop discipleship? Will it help the people involved to deepen their experience or knowledge of God? Does it help to do the work of connecting faith and everyday life? Does it encourage us to become Christ-like in some way? Are we prepared for the fact that there may be a cost to this (Luke 14:27)?
Encouraging Vocation In what ways does it encourage vocation? Will it help people to understand that God calls them? Will it offer ways for them to identify their specific vocation? Will it clearly honour and support all types of calling whether in the workplace, home or church? Does it provide space for a process of discernment?
Inspiring Evangelism In what ways will it inspire evangelism? Will it give people confidence and opportunity to tell the Jesus story as they know it? Will it tell others directly about Christian faith and invite them to make a response? Will it be a clear expression of Gods love for individuals and communities? Will it bring you into contact with people who are not like you (ethnicity, education, income, etc)?
