Seeking God’s presence, bringing hope to all
We are committed to working with, & where possible resourcing the community.
Cocaine Anonymous
Tuesdays, 7-8:30pm in the ground floor hall of the Shekinah Centre.
Cocaine Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other so that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from their addiction. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances.
There are no dues or fees for membership; we are fully self supporting through our own contributions. We are not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organisation, or institution. We do not wish to engage in any controversy and we neither endorse nor oppose any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay free from cocaine and all other mind-altering substances, and to help others achieve the same freedom.

The HOPE Project
The Hope Project has expanded to include ‘Hope Outdoors’, which undertakes to help with practical work around the outside of homes of people who are struggling to maintain those areas.
During the period 2014-2019 the Hope Project spent just over £25,000 supplying people with brand new white goods and furniture.
The Hope Project is the vision of Clare Parr, who wants to show in a practical way the goodness of God to those deprived of resources.
The Hope Project is a non-profit making organisation committed to providing help and quality household equipment to individuals & families.

CAP Money Management
Christians Against Poverty is a national, award-winning initiative, recommended by money saving expert Martin Lewis. The courses are designed to help people take control of their finances, and then stay in control. Within the Church there are a number of people trained to work with anyone who wants practical help with money management.
We support the work of Christian Concern as they seek to communicate God’s truth in public debate, especially in the media, politics and law. Engaging with government policy, and working with parliamentarians and public officials. Using their legal, policy and media expertise to seek justice.
Their Christian Legal Centre is particularly well known for helping Christians who suffer in the workplace because of their Christian faith but they also work to protect families and uphold the right to life for unborn children, disabled and elderly people.
They are seeking to build a movement of Christians across the UK (and further afield) who are passionate to see society changed for the good of all, by Jesus Christ. Tens of thousands of Christians across the UK and beyond are engaged with the work of Christian Concern as they inform, equip and energise for prayer and action.
Stand By Me
As a Church we have sponsored children through the ‘Stand By Me’ international programme for many years, but more recently we are financially contributing to the support of the Emmanuel Care Centre in Columbia.
This project is situated in the midst of an area that seems almost forgotten by the world at large and the children there are in desperate need of help to escape the endless cycle of poverty, abuse and despair.
The Emmanuel Care Centre is a joyous place, run by dedicated staff determined to bring a brighter future to the children of this forgotten corner of Columbia.
Since its opening the Centre has gained a reputation as the place to go for mums seeking refuge from domestic violence, a place where they receive shelter and food assistance, attend medical clinics and gain parenting skills. It has become a place of support where families overcome the trauma of child abuse.
Together with education, food and healthcare, our support is enabling children to know they are loved and cared for.
Food Bank
As a Church we are involved in the Penzance Food Bank. The Food Bank aims to provide tinned and non-perishable dried goods for anyone who has been referred to the Food Bank by local authority bodies. Those who qualify are then given a voucher which entitles them to food sufficient for a 7 day period.
