Some pages on our website use services provided by others which do require Cookies to be set. These are as follows:

  • Our Cookie Opt-out / Opt-in functionality provided to satisfy the requirements of GDPR law itself sets some cookies to track your options. These cookies are necessary for us to provide this required functionality.
  • If you use a page with a contact form, we use Google ReCaptcha to protect the form from malicious use. Google ReCaptcha will set additional cookies to record that the person using the form has been verified so that you do not continually need to re-verify.
  • There are pages on this website where: Calendar items or forms are shown from our church database, ChurchSuite. On these pages this external partner sets minimal additional cookies to enable their functionality. These cookies support this required functionality and are not intended to capture personal data.
  • On our Giving page a button to give via PayPal is available. To enable this functionality, PayPal will set some cookies. You can opt out of having these cookies set, though the ability to use PayPal to give to the church will be lost.

On our past sermons pages our service videos are shown from YouTube. Google sets additional cookies when you view these videos or load these pages. You can opt out of having these cookies set, though ability to watch videos will be lost.
