The Church provides activities for different age groups within the community, meeting specific needs, establishing contacts and building relationships. There are groups for children and young people, parents and toddlers, day-time groups for older people and a seniors lunch club held monthly. Outreach programmes in local schools operate both independently and collaboratively with other agencies.
