About Us
Homelands Free Church was originally planted 50 years ago as a mission to the local growing estates. While we are currently a congregation of mostly older folks, we have a good heart for working with children and families and established connections with four local primary schools and a secondary academy. We aim to offer our neighbours the opportunity to encounter Jesus and begin a journey of faith and hope. There is a genuine occupational requirement that the post-holder is a Christian.
