Reaching out
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbour as yourself.”
We understand these words of Jesus as a call to action.
As Christians we aim to be compassionate, loving and offer practical help wherever we can. We trust that our services to the community help reflect that.
Love your neighbour as yourself
Community care services
Community Care Services work in response to requests from referral partners, such as council departments and housing associations, made on behalf of the most vulnerable. However, for more general requests, the church may still be able to help if you call directly.
Our services to the community include:
-
A national charity which crowdsources small sums of money (up to three payments of £120) for specific emergency needs.

The Furniture Project collects appropriate quality furniture (not White Goods) from kind community donors, enabling the Church to give away free 2nd hand furniture to folk who live in the Amersham/Chesham areas who have been assessed by a Referral Partner as being in a needy financial or domestic situation.
