At St. Leonard's in the small village of Rockingham, our aim is to reach out to all ages, to show the love of God in real lives, and to help each person to know Jesus more fully.
We believe that God loves all of his world and has uniquely revealed himself in the person of Jesus Christ, through the Scriptures, and continues to make himself known today by the work of the Holy Spirit.
Every age group is represented and valued within our congregation. As people made in God's image, we come alive as we encounter His holiness and love.
Worship is therefore at the heart of our life together, and we gladly extend a welcome to all those who attend our services.
