Family Ministries & CABSDA Connect

Family Ministries looks after welcoming visitors and new families into the fellowship and helping them 'find their feet', in the fellowship as they make new friends, as well as assist with any practical needs. Family ministries run a vibrant welcoming and CARE ministry which includes, visitation, gift flowers, cards and food parcels. Their ministry extends in three main areas - those within the church family, those visiting the church, and those unable to attend the church for any reason.
