We Love MK
We love MK and we love its people! With more than 5,000 acres of parkland, lakes and woodland, Milton Keynes is as leafy as it is urban. It’s home to people from all over the globe, both young and old. Like any city though, not everything is perfect. For many, life is difficult. Jesus said to remember the poor, and so we want to play our part in caring practically for people in need.
Serving the City
We do a variety of things to serve our city, from litter picking to food hampers, marriage courses and family fun.
AND COMING SOON CHATTY CAFES (see below)
We see this as something we're each called to do as part of everyday life; encouraging one another increasingly into the unique ways God has gifted and enabled us to serve him and other.
Creative Kindness
We are intentional about acts of kindness. When we’re out and about, doing ordinary, everyday life, we look for ways to bless people: from rough sleepers, to our neighbours and colleagues, people we pass on the street and anyone we meet!
For lots of ideas and inspiration, take a look at our YouTube playlist for our latest videos:

Coffee & Chat
CHATTY CAFES
Following on from the success of our "Warm Places" where we sought to serve one local community, we're now branching out across the city.
Meeting in various cafes on a range of days, these are great places to come and connect and find some good converastion and good company!
Do you know anyone who is lonely, struggling or would just benefit from some time to meet new people? Why don't give them an invite or even bring them along?!

Schools Work
Over the years we have been involved in local schools helping to deliver exciting, inspiring assemblies to encourage pupils to consider values and faith. We support staff well-being by meeting staff for a chat whenever they need to talk and take tasty treats into the staff room when we can. We help out in RE lessons and present Christmas and Easter Cracked to help pupils learn about Christianly.
Explorers Toddler Group
Until recently we were in full swing setting up the "Explorers Toddler Group". We've put this idea on pause for now but will be holding it in our hearts and minds to do something like this in the near future.
In the mean time we often gather informally with mums, dads and kids all over the city so reach out to us if we can involve you in our big church family!
Holiday Bible Club
Five fun-filled mornings, exploring the Bible and the meaning of life! For children aged between 5 years and 11 years. Watch this space for date and venue.
