Get to know us better
At Ivy Church we are a supernatural community that is all about Jesus.
We want to help people find their way back to God through the power of the Holy Spirit, becoming followers of Jesus who share the good news with others so that they become disciples too.
You are always welcome at Ivy.
Wherever you are in your faith journey, we’d love you to join us.
As a church we are:
Outward-looking
We are focussed on those who are finding their way back to God.
Adventurous
We will take risks for God and step into unknown things in obedience to his call.
Relevant
We want everything we say and do to be relevant, authentic and accessible.
Confident
We are confident in God that he will lead us forward, step by step, whatever the circumstances.
Welcoming
We extend an invitation to everyone, whatever their background and whatever their needs.
Empowering
We want to enable God's power to be released through God's people to equip us to be all that God has made us to be.
