The Village Hub, is Life Community Church's offices and vibrant shop nestled in the heart of the village. Our mission is to pray for and serve our local community. In our gift shop, you will find a selection of items that are handcrafted by talented local artists, contribute to charitable causes and promote ethical practices. You can enjoy a diverse array of hot and cold beverages, alongside sweet or savoury snacks and sandwiches, at our self-service cafe. As a community hub, we offer a wide range of planned groups and activities to foster connection and engagement. Whether you need a listening ear or guidance in accessing assistance during challenging times, we are here to provide support and help you navigate the resources available to you.
