All Saints Church Childwall

As a church we actively promote five core values. These values help us understand how to share and model the Gospel. Each week  the PCC will highlight in our notices one value in turn, giving examples of what this value means in practice. Please think about what we do as a church in the light of these values, and how we can embody these values more fully. Think also about what this value says to you personally about your own discipleship, or to any group or organisation of which you are a part. If you have any suggestions to make about how we as a church can better express any value in any aspect of our life and witness, then please speak to the clergy, wardens or any member of the PCC: they would be very glad to hear from you. You can also email:info@allsaintschildwall.org.ug
