The Superintendent’s Letter
Our churches are south of the River Tees in North East England, an area once known for heavy industry and petrochemical plants. Surrounded by beautiful countryside and coast, a community spanning inner city to idyllic rural villages, with a population drawn from Asylum seekers to Artisans, Students to Surgeons and Mechanics to Millionaires. Please look around our website and perhaps visit us.
