Many people contribute to the work of our church, helping us to offer worship, a warm welcome and a range of activities for the wider community.

Ministry Team

The Ministry Team lead our worship at St Barnabas, and give pastoral support to all members of the local community. 

If you are a local resident, business, school or other organisation and would like to receive pastoral support from our team, or to visit our church, do get in touch; we are here for you.
