The Church receives weekly donations in support of a Christian home for mentally retarded young people in Bangalore, India. The home is called Nireekshana, which means House of Hope.  Last year about £1500 was contributed. Go to map to locate Hollins Lane

The Church participates actively in interdenominational activity through Churches Together in Forton

Forton lies close to the M6, and its service area is well known for its mushroom-shaped tower. We warmly invite travellers to escape from the M6 for a short time and join us for Sunday worship. A friendly welcome is waiting! You can leave the motorway at junction 33 and be with us in about five minutes.

Our comfortable schoolroom is used for many community activities such as computer classes as shown on the left. Since April 2007 we have accommodated the Forton Post Office as a service to the village.
